Here's a nice looking '68 Magnavox 17" portable B&W TV in a wooden cabinet that I recently picked up. Unfortunately, I think it was in an accident and the VHF tuner shaft is bent, along with a damaged power switch. The TV still comes to life with a bright, sharp picture; but, it has vertical issues and the pictures flickers.

I forgot to take a picture of the chassis before putting it back together; but, it's a series string chassis that's fairly clean. I may need some help with tuner parts and a power switch.

Awesome, I have this exact same TV!

It does produce quite a nice picture. I haven't powered mine on in 7-8 years, and it is acting like the caps are marginal. Eventually I'll get to it.

Hey Bryan, Is this a USA set or Japanese? It has that Nipponjin look to me... Either way, cute set!

I looks to be USA made with some Japanese parts.
