As Mikey said, you definitely have something to work with. Approx. 15 WPC is what the unit is capable of. Are you sure about the rectifier? The 90 mA. the EZ80/6V4 is capable of is cutting things very fine. A 150 mA. capable EZ81/6CA4 would be a better choice. However, the impact of "bean counters" is always present.

EZ80/6V4 Data Sheet ==> http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/sheets/030/e/EZ80.pdf

EZ81/6AC4 Data Sheet ==> http://www.mif.pg.gda.pl/homepages/frank/sheets/093/6/6CA4.pdf

The link that follows immediately suggests that a pair of EZ80s are present and that makes sense.

If you are up to DIYing new cabinets for the speakers, have at it. OTOH for just buy/wire up/play, DECWARE offers something highly suitable at something resembling a rational price.
