Quite a lot. Changing from a 5-pin socket to a 6-pin will be the easiest change. While the mu of the tubes is similar the 26 may require you to drop the B+ a bit. The real issue is going to be figuring out what you can live with as a filament supply for the 26. AC on the 26’s filament will probably give you objectionable hum. You could use high-frequency AC but then the complexity of tube swap grows. Battery DC filaments are probably the easiest of your options if you don’t mind the hassle of using rechargeable batteries. Getting rectified DC to sound good could be as complicated as high-freq AC. This is not a plug and play tube swap.
