Magnavox television/phonograph on eBay

A strange, BOL combo from the late '50s. Ignore the white paint, no affiliation. http://cgi.ebay.com/MID-CENTURY-MOD-...item3f0b8f6289

That's pretty cool lookin'. You don't see a lot of white cabinets in those types of sets unless someone painted it(. I really hate the phrase "mid century". People use it for anything built in the 20th century.

Pretty sure it's been painted, it looks a little sloppy around the turntable and controls, plus they just don't match.

BTW if there's no affiliation with this auction it can be posted in the regular Forum for folks to peruse.

It's definitely a bad paint job of a dark cabinet. I stuck it in the sale section because the last time I posted a thing on a vintage stereo site just to look at, I was told it belonged in the Classifieds. But thanks for the tip.

The main curiosity of this one is the lack of tuner, and the basic components, no luxury features. A cute survivor. I'd still like to find the rock bottom color stereo theatre offered as late as 1969. It too is nothing like the standard sets with the long cabinets and screen centered in the cabinet.
