Agree with Arran. If your set were mine, I wouldn't hesitate to build my own amp/power supply and, if nothing else, use modern speakers as I have done. The Clifton cabinet is, from what I have read, highly desirable so you have the main "eye candy" - the tuner and the cabinet. A new amp/power supply and modern speakers would not be seen unless you turned the cabinet around, removed the back cover and showed people what was inside.
