    I've gutted a few CD players. There's a large transformer, some wiring, a few low grade boards, and the speakers. I would just assume the components would just be bigger?

    I found a Rockola one last fall, it appears to be all there but it was in 2 pieces so I've seen the inside. It's a 1970's something version and appears to have tons of goodies inside it. It's been sitting in the garage, still back an forth as to see if I could sell it for parts or keep it and see if we could make it work again.

    if they won"t sell there is a reason for that

    the cd ones are a dime a dozen the record ones have HUGE collectabliilty even just for parts

    I'd have no clue what a tube amp is but I'll take a few pics and if I have a part you'd need I'd be interested in getting rid of it.

    ***That's of course if sweeny doesn't have the part your looking for.

    i have an old tube stereo, it was old when i gave $2 for it about 1975. It's laying on the ground in a barn that's all but fallen down. Some of the wood has mostly rotted, and it's been kicked around by wayfaring cattle, but the tubes are still there

    Thanks for the pic. There was a bunch of these in an old radio I got once, they had an aluminum tube that slid over top of them. These ones were probably about 3-4in. tall and about 1 1/2in round.

    But he's want the whole amplifier that the tubes plug into, it takes a tiny sound and boosts the audio volume on it to a nice loud level.
