I would not go above HF in a PW, because they didn't have UHF/VHF back in the '50s. And of course you want to stick strictly to vacuum tubes, with 6 volt filament and vibrator plate supplies. Or you could go to WWII military stuff that lots of hams modified back in the '50s. You definitely wouldn't want anything transistorized, for the same reason you'll stick to a breaker-point ignition and a single mechanical fuel pump.

I have some tube powered VHF police radio stuff, but I think it's from the '60s. BTW, I'm not a ham, just an appreciator of old tube gear.
