Is it worth buying an old phonograph for $25

If it's loaded with Brimar tubes- unknown type/condition?

What is it? Generally speaking, you can convert almost any vacuum tube amplifier into a guitar amp. maddog has/had a similar converted amp, IIRC.

It's called a Regentone. I'm googling on getting closer to which model. I was thinking the tubes might have some value. Some of their models used 6BM8.

Hi Zac: if it runs on 12A_7/ECC8_ type tubes and they and the output tubes are all Brimars, it might be worth it for the tubes. I agree w/ default that it can be done but it would take some messing with.

thanks guys. If I get a handle on the types of tubes, I'll see if anyone here could use any.
