Had it been me I'd have laid the keg on its side and used a smaller barrel - replace the top with a speaker grille and you could have gotten some respectable volume from set like that. As far a the design goes it's a pretty conventional setup for the times - the classic 5-tube "universal" minus the power supply. Considering the price at the time for the power supply components it's a decent cost-cutting measure. Nice design - someone had a fair bit of fun coming up with that set.
