Only circuit I can find is for a Baird 208 which uses 6.3v 0.115a bulbs. This set uses the Ux40 series valves, I.e. series heaters 0.1a.

Photos of the chassis of your set may confirm if they are the same.

6v 0.1a MES bulbs are available, need to be sure the circuit I looked at is the same as your set. I am presuming the bulbs are MES which was the most common type.
The circuit I looked at is this.
