? Switching to C-input and removing the swinging-choke should raise the
anode-V to about 3kVDC, which is c. the same as a SB-220 and TL-922. My
guess is that the extant tank components will withstand the increase.

? To compensate for the transient unregulation produced by rapidly
changing current on SSB/CW through the swinging choke, it might take
considerably more C. I would start off with c. 0.1F and check it with a
DC 'scope.
