Those decks have some fine components on them.

The speakers are the Sony/Coral holey basket 4 inch full rangers. They are well thought of in the full range community. Planet10, one of the full range forum gurus, considers them to be about the best of 4 inch Japanese Alnico full range speakers. The speakers would probably be great for a Bushhorn type of speaker cabinet.

The output transformers are reputed to be built by Tamradio which I understand to be a part of Tamura. I have read several links of people building nice amps with these trannies.

The power transformer is a stoutly built one with very usable voltage outputs. The specs are clearly labeled on the transformer. B+ is 300-0-300, two 1.5 A 6.3 volt heater taps and a separate 1 amp heater tap.

Great score there.
