	No need to spend much money if you just want to record, or otherwise
mic up a tube amp. Remember what a gramophone is, one of those record players
from the 1960's? They contain a stereo ( possibly ) valve amplifier.
	The plan is to get hold of one of these ( surely less than $5 )
and rip out the ceramic cartridge in the tonearm. Wire your guitar lead/
keyboard lead across the input, and away you go.
	I won't be real loud, but you're unlikely to burn out the input
stage very easily so play around with pre-amps and stuff.
