I’m an old guy. So I remember the old 220, NTC 250, 270, and our shiny 290. And a V903 and a 444. I imagine that’s what you see. Maybe some 6V53s. Probably an occasional thermodyne or maxidyne. Unfortunately I’m no mechanic.

You went off the road for a month? I guess that means you had a job ? Did you do it properly, like giving the owner notice ? Will he/she take you back ? Why is your insurance “high” ? I would think you’d need great references for someone to take a chance on you.

Why do you care what kind of chili they like ?
