I already got the stuff, y'all...

the radio turned out to be an old Hammarlund HQ-129 (in some -serious- 
need of TLC) and a medium voltage power supply (5U4 style - around.. oh, 
500 or 600v, maybe)

But, I think Mike/WN5PMR got the tubes.

I gave what I thought was a fair price for the two items, and the guy 
selling said "you can't  do any better than that?" 
I said "It's either that, or good luck finding anyone else to take it.  
It's basically 50 and 60 year old junk!"

so, I got it.
