Welcome, and nice amps!!   Where did you get them at?
They do look like Home brew.  Some of these home made amps are of extreme build quality.

They look like they were inspired by Civil War ironclads. I'll bet they sing like nobody's business!

Wilkommen. What you have there is nothing special. I'll take it off your hands for you :D
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.
