My first (recent--in the last 10 years) restoration is a 1961 Magnavox 23" B/W home entertainment center. CRT was dead as a doornail. Got a newer good CRT from a member here, and wound up spending $150 on the other parts, and a couple of oddwad speakers for it. Now, it plays, the turntable runs, AM and FM (mono) works fine. Now, it sits here looking sad. I'm only using it to reinforce the stereo sound on my TV system. I could have done that without buying a $$$ 23MP4 CRT!!
This all said, I'm actively looking for a roundie home entertainment system to restore. Bad CRT? Dont care. I have 2 very good ones on hand.
