Philco TPA-1
#73

I'd say you are better off selling this TPA-1 to someone who will appreciate it as a time piece and get an amp separately. The amp inside in fact pretty crappy and so is the way it is assembled: 1-layer brown phenolic pcb board that has the traces separating under the transistors' weight.
It's value is not in being able to play MP3 which it will do but not in a good way. It's value is strictly historic.
It is your piece and you could do whatever with it but it's not many of these left so altering it won't add any value and won't make it a good playing piece unless you toss all the innards and replace it with a good amp and a good speaker.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
