Pretty sure it is the Horseshoe Magnet pickup, but I will send pictures.

Additional pictures added.... Let me know if there is anythign else.

"The tubes are in the pictures, but they were all bad or broken."

Probably not...

One more key thing is the condition of the valve and antenna-rotation geartrains. Pot metal, and typically crumbled.

Replacements can be found!

If I remember right, the valve did move freely and was is decent shape. I do think that the antenna gear was on the deteriorating side.

Ok that’s great to know. It’s very important to not force those little levers that operate the valve and the antenna. Yours are intact, which is a huge plus. Often found snapped - they, too, are potmetal.

The lever has been reproduced, BUT for the 10-50. And those are slightly different, in that the knob on the end isn’t as tall (no biggie) and the setscrew is on the opposite side (rotates the pointer 180 degrees, which means it’s going to point wrong unless you somehow rotate the shafts to accommodate that).

All in all, I think this is a great value for a rare and awesome machine.
