In good shape and functional? I would investigate first, ya never know, people collect that sort of thing. It could be worth the cost of an amp. well at the moment the power cord was cut off and its been used in a preschool to play records for the kids don't think it can have much collecting value its just a regular record player...........

i found at work an old record player that according to the hand written date on the inside was built in march of 1959 by Columbia Records. in the cabinet was a small metal box that i assume is the amp for the player because sticking out of it are four tubes one of which was marked 12AX7 which from my reading is one of the tubes used in making guitar amps.there are wires coming from the arm of the player which i assume come from the needle they go into a small transformer BEFORE the little metal box. On the other side of the box are wires that are going to the two 5" speakers in the cabinet. so to make a short story long is there a way to convert this small amp into a small guitar amp.I tried doing a search but came up with zip. is it worth it or could this thing just blow up in my face. don't have much knowledge when it comes to electronics
