Just to close this thread out (not that anybody was following it) - I had put this tape recorder aside while I did other things & just came back to it today. Having looked it over, it simply is not a suitable object for conversion. The big problem is the utter lack of a chassis. There are struts & a decaying old board, but since the outer case would not be kept, there is really nothing there to hang an amp on. The components that might be kept are not particularly high quality either. If I stumble upon potential conversions in future, I will know that something resembling a real, retainable steel chassis is important.

Save any parts?
Hello: Did you ever finish your project? I am looking for some parts to restore a similar Trav-ler machine.
Thanks !
