If it has a tape out, then you can definitely use it as a preamp, but you won't like it because you won't have volume and tone controls since the purpose of the tape output is to bypass those controls.
You have two ways around this. First, you could go into the amplifier and tap the signal where it goes to the power amplifier, then just remove the output stage tubes. There are some dangerous voltages involved there, so unless you know what you're doing you might not want to try this.
A second one very easy way is to use a speaker to RCA level converter like this. You just connect this instead of speakers. It works for amplifiers up to 50 watts.
Hope this helps.
Helpful advice, thanks. If I have any joy, I'll post the results back here but it might take a long time. I may need to message you later, if thats ok as you seem to know what you're doing. I'll try to be concise and research my questions first. I noticed there are many different types of uno around, I assume I should get one with the right I/O to fit the chip I will use, as the Rev 3 has a chip slot (not sure of technical name) with 28 pins, and as for the NTE74141 I have no idea how to connect it to the uno. Speaking of chips, can you please explain a bit more which chip I should use, since they are very differently priced and I am a bit lost, sorry for the bother.
Haha, thanks! Just a roll of white photo backdrop paper and a photo strobe with a 22" beauty dish and sock.
You mean these?

Those are some binding/terminal blocks I made awhile back for testing speakers/drivers, etc. I can plug in cables with banana plugs on them, and clip on to the terminals to test different drivers, etc.
There's some led tape/strip lighting under the top most shelf, and a clamp on adjustable led light with magnifying glass built in. I can swing it in when I need, and out of the way otherwise.
I think the magnifying lamp is this one: https://amzn.com/B00UW2IRJ2
The diagonal flush cutters are:

and the small nose pliers are:

The little parts boxes are from a Bosch organizer:

There's cheaper options, but I had the organizer and extra bins so I used those.
Fire extinguisher is a Kidde ~3lb standard fire extinguisher. An absolute must imo.
The drawers are great, when I'm properly using them I can keep the desk clutter free.
Generally when I'm working on a project, if it's going to take longer than an hour or so, I put all the parts needed into bins, organize/label all the components. Then get started on the build. I have a small whiteboard to the left of the desk that I can pin up schematics, and take any quick notes while I'm cussing myself for forgetting something obvious.
What storage containers do you use (or have you used) for your various bits and baubles?
What were the advantages/disadvantages? I'm thinking of trying to standardize on just a few types of storage and don't want to back myself into a corner.
