As I mentioned earlier, there are any number of places that will go through the radio and bring it to like new condition--Replacing capacitors are almost a given, and they will use whatever tubes they need and can find--originals if OK, NOS, or import-- just depends on how much you want them to do or how much you want to pay. Here is one who does restorationshttp://www.bobsradio.com/ and has been a vendor at various Packard meets on the west coast. There are many others closer to you and surely even in UK, you can find places.

The 48 radio will not fit a 52. They are totally different configurations. There is also a difference between the 48 and 50. Although they look similar and fit in the same space, the controls are different.
