Magnavox Astro-Sonic

[matt_s78mn]

I got the chance over the weekend to play around with a mid '60's Magnavox Astro-Sonic stereo console. The controls needed a shot of deoxit but other than that all I could say was WOW. That thing sounded absolutely incredible. I didn't have any vinyl with me to try out the changer, but the tuner was just amazing. Good bass and lots of power to back it all up. I've gotta find myself one of these to drag home!!! This made me think of a good question. Which console stereos were the best sounding? I've heard that the Motorolas were good too but have never tried one. The ones I've used were Zenith, Admiral, and GTE/Sylvania. Of those I thought the GTE/Sylvania sounded the best.
