1. Having a tube amp hobby myself,

I would suggest learning on how to solder on inexpensive kits like the ones at Electronic Goldmine if you don't already know how. http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/departments.asp?dept=1059
A basic electronics course is a must before you begin.
If you're not already into electronics you'll need some equipment like a meter that can read voltages up to 700 volts. The first few projects won't pay for themselves but you'll learn a lot.
One of the best replacement parts sources is AES. https://www.cedist.com/products/radio_antique_equipment_parts_0
Be very careful when working with the voltages involved. Research research research.
Philco and Stromberg Carlsons sound amazing BTW.
Good luck.
