I think it would be less work than trying to find two identical record player amps and re-housing them. Especially when you have to take into account handling the safety aspects and the probable need for a high-output stereo cartridge.

And as said, you avoid the difficulties of getting ECL8x valves.

I hope Eagles 123 has received enough information to decide on the best course of action.
