Sound Reproducer Bogen Turntable and Tube Amp?

[Trolly90]

Found this Military PA turntable that has a tube amp inside and was wondering if $75.00 would be too much to spend on this? Looks really interesting, has a 4 speed Bogen B 52 turntable with a long tonearm, and a beefy looking tube amp inside. Does anybody have any info on this? Turntable is labeled stereo/ mono so I was wondering also if the amp might possibly be stereo as well. I need a decent 78 turntable and maybe this would fit the bill? As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like a mono amp, tt is rebranded lenco. If it works it's certainly worth $75. Should be good for 78s

Thanks milbag6 for the info! No cords (power or speaker) are included so was unable to test....also noticed the fuse cap is missing so would have to find one of those as well. The more I think about it, I might separate the turntable and find/build a nice plinth for it, not sure if that tonearm is any good though, any thoughts on it? Maybe a Astatic? Not sure...

Here's a link to an AK thread:

Tonearm is probably ok for 78s can't say about anything else.

Appreciate the link mibag6! Looks like some useful information in there...I just skimmed a bit of it, and will delve deeper tomorrow when I get a chance. Thanks again!
