Unfortunately the chassis is long gone. Dad only had the case, and he put a Bose bluetooth speaker behind it.

I have looked but chassis (sic) are hard to come by. Would essentially need to buy an entire new radio and transfer everything over to it.

So with that all said - my options as I see them

I could buy a new tube amp and modify the case to utilize it. For example this one that PE sells. https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Au ... quantity=1

I could buy this and take the faceplate off, rear mount it and make the cutouts so the VU gauges showed. If I did that and figured out some older knobs to use instead of the ones it has, that could give me a period correct-esque appearance, and the older sound I would like. While it doesn't have an fm tuner- I could us tunedin on my phone and listen to any radio station technically.

Other option I thought of is a retro stereo. Would need a 12V power supply which would not be hard to do and all fit in the case easily. Again it is modifying the face but I am ok with that. Spirit of my Dad having the case is preserved. Thinking something like this https://www.retromanufacturing.com/coll ... 6990593180

Both options allow using the original case and give enough power to drive the sprites for sure. Honestly I think I could get away with the 20watt tube amp from PE for what I would be doing.

Appreciate everyone's assitance and input. Been a rough week with Dad passing and I am wanting to use this the way I know he wanted to, but did not have the skills for. Know there is a way to make it work without going crazy.
