Magnavox homeless shelter found in trash.

[Carmine]

It is long enough to sleep in...

Found this Magnavox stereo theater headed for the trash. The radio works (poorly), none of the usual Astro-Sonic™ power. Instead it sounds like a 9 volt transistor radio.



I noticed the HV 2nd Anode disconnected (that would have been fun if I didn't) so I popped it back on and fired up the TV. Didn't catch fire as I expected, but didn't do much more than hum either. Tubes lit including the CRT. I noticed a mfg. date of 4-65.



Cabinet is not so good, but not destroyed either. Oh yeah, did I mention all the insulin (I hope) needles I found inside the chassis and controls?



The turntable had some nonsense about "Made in England" so I smashed it to bits because I'm mad at the Brits right now (for making Steve McDonald cheat on Michelle Connor, but I digress).



If somebody wanted this baby, I could be convinced to part with it Other wise I think it might end up as parts, then sent to a bio-hazard unit for legal disposal.

One thing I'd like to rob is the wire mesh covers over the speaker cloth... My Astro-Sonic™ does not have them, and the fabric will actually flutter and make horrid noise when I crank out Ice Cube, or Sinatra. I wonder if this was a factory fix for the same problem?

Finally, I give you the traditional shot of the unit in the bed of a Dodge pick-up.
