I will most definitely need help. I've messed around with tube stuff a little but, but not much.

As you can see in the photos below, the wiring in the chassis looks pretty well done. There are more components under the plastic cover presumably associated with the power supply, but I didn't get photo (I certainly can if it would be helpful).

However, I don't know what the heck is going on under the transformer cover. A bunch of loose wires, bad looking soldering, a couple "6.0A GLASS PASSIVATED BRIDGE RECTIFIER"s (based on the part numbers).

So...
- Any idea what kind of tubes I would need to make this thing go?
- You mentioned low power - how low? 1W? 10W?
- What the heck should I do with that transformer?
