Is this magnavox worth saving?
 

I was contacted last night by someone that lves down the street from where this is sitting and they said it's been out there a week. It has rained during that time.

cabinet looks like it's about to come apart. Chassis issues were flybacks and tuner problems. When working they got great pictures.

It'll probably hold together to move it but it'll never look good left that way. If it was worth saving, I could go as far as to build a new cabinet staining it in similar color. I'm just wondering if it's worth getting.

Ah well I guess that's out. Several storm went through last night and more on the way today. Ik it's soaked rn.

Pull the chassis for parts. Its a common mid end set. NOTHING
special about it.
OH the chassis is worth zero $$ & if you took the whole set he would
owe YOU money !

LFOD !

Ahh ok 👍😂

Rain won't harm electronics (assuming they were okay before wet, and allowed to dry a couple of weeks before plugging in), rain can harm cosmetics particularly on wood sets.

There are are enough tube signal chain sets out there that are actually worth something that I can't see why someone would bother with this, but if it's worth it to you that's all that matters...If it isn't join the club.

Yeah, I'm not gonna bother with it. Hopefully something better will come along.

Looks like a 25N1 chassis or the one just before it (25S1, maybe?). I replaced lots of HOTs, regulators, vertical ICs, and soldered lots of bad connections in the N1 sets. Pretty much the same for the previous chassis, except the previous chassis used a larger tuner that used an IC that was a common failure part. A couple of years ago, I saw a nice one at an estate sale that I could have probably gotten for free, but those sets are too new for me and I didn't have a place to put it.
