Question is there a tube thats equal to the 8950 final tube in a siltronix 1011c or a upgraded 50w tube that can be use in the radio after a little modding of the socket or a new socket.

The M-2057 Tube is just a rugged version of the 8950, you can swap it for the 8950, although they might be harder to find. Power is really about the same. A 6lq6 has 6 volts on the heater, the 8950 and the M-2057 have 12 volt on the heater, so to run the 6LQ6 you would have to have someone mod the radio to change the voltage. I would just look for the 8950/M2057.
