build a tube amp where the tubes sit under the cartridge lid so when you need to change tubes you lift up the lid like you would if you changed a game. you would have to blow inside it to cool the tubes down before rolling just like the old days.
keep the controller connected and use it to control volume, mute, and switch between inputs on the amp (nes).
connect the headphones by getting the old robot dude and have the balance xlr connections come from his eyes or something...
ok i am done...
