Welcome to the Phorum. Don't throw away the Garrard turntable. It IS restorable despite being pretty dirty. The pre-amplifier was used to match the magnetic cartridge of the newer turntable to the Philco's input. If you don't want these items, at least sell them to someone who will want to restore them. Personally, I would use them as they were intended, the only change being the cartridge of the turntable to a modern stereo compliant cartridge.
