Re: Well....

Hmm, It doesn't sound like a good bet that I would ever be able to find a pair of those very early RCA tipped beauties, let alone that they would work properly!
I have an old projectionist's manual from the early 1930's which shows a large Photophone rack of the earlier style with upwards of 8 or more tipped-type 845s in the power amplifier section. What a sight that must have been in full glow!
If the new 845's turn out to work and sound as well as they look, then they should be a real treat.
Keep your fingers crossed I dont smoke a 70 year old power or output tranny. Rewinding a 1200-0-1200V power transformer certainly would not come cheap, let alone the 50lb output transformers.

Best wishes
