Using 6EY6 in a Champ

Using 6EY6 in a Champ
I have a '64 VC that is in great untouched condition if you overlook the fact that the speaker is quite useless at this point. I run it through a 2-12 cab.  
 
This one has "the tone". I do not wish to do anything to the amp within reason. Even a cap job makes me hesitate.  
 
However, I have tried a 6EY6 in the amp for short periods and after comparing with *many* other 6V6s I find I prefer the tone of these. I like it so much that I might consider minor adjustments to allow running one safely full time.  
 
What can I do, if anything, to run a 6EY6 safely in this amp?  
 
 
Thanks,  
 
Barry
