I don't think it's worth the trouble. The tube complement suggests an "EL Cheapo" design.In any event, you need to replace ALL the electrolytic capacitors in the unit before using a variac. Those old 'lytics have dried out for sure.
6V6 = beam tetrode (audio O/P)
5Y3 = full wave rectifier (power supply)
6BA6 = remote cutoff pentode (IF amp)
6AL5 = dual diode (FM detector)
6SB7 = pentagrid converter (combined local oscillator/mixer)
6SQ7 = dual diode/triode (AM detector/audio driver)
