RE: Eico HF-65

That old preamp with its many 50 year old capacitors in the signal chain is going to sound like you draped heavy quilts over your speakers. Even rebuilt with new caps and resistors, it will sound vague, opaque, and drab. If you really need a preamp you could rebuild the unit to only incorporate the voltage amp and the cathode follower (eliminate all the switches and signal shaping components) after rebuilding the power supply to dramatically reduce the internal impedance.

"Has the sliker on the bottom phono tuner tape TV like that. Correct me if I am wrong."

It is hard to argue with that.
