Thanks to everone who contributed- lot of useful information here and it's helped me clear my thoughts a bit.
Looks like getting an original amp will have to be a very long term aim (if ever)- but I'm very interested in hearing from music-centre and PWH that it might be possible to get an original deck that plays 33RPM. With an original deck and radio it would then look absolutely authentic from the outside. PWH- I will certainly take you up on your kind offer if I can find a suitable deck.
For the amp, not yet decided- I think I would like a valve one to keep the 'feel' of the Beau Decca, but further than that I'm not sure, so any suggestions would definitely be welcome.
I guess the speakers I fit will depend on the amp so best hold off until that is settled?
