Those sets put a lot of beans on my table back when I worked for a Magnavox dealer. If your set has the constant voltage transformer it's a T995 chassis, if not it's a T991. As Chad said they had some connection problems around the connectors on the boards and the mother board. One regular problem was the pins of the regulator transistor on the regulator board would break loose and arc, shorting the regulator and several other transistors on the board. Back in the day we carried all the boards on the truck so we'd just swap out the board, Magnavox supplied a repair kit to rebuild the regulator board. I've got a T995 set with mechanical tuners that I hope to get working this winter. One other thing they had the same problem as Zenith with the safety caps that were installed in the early sets, the HV would go up to the stratosphere and arc through the neck of the picture tube. I probably replaced a couple dozen picture tubes because of this, Magnavox would just send us a new tube even if the set was out of warranty.
