It would probably be easy to add a dedicated preamp dnd make do without the
tapedeck that also adds the possibilty of putting a equalizer and or digital
signal processing equipment in line. At that point you may be able to clean
up the old recordings to make them sound better than new, get rid of
background hiss and pops etc.
The DSP can work wonders for some of the old 1930s to 1960s radio shows.
