I just obtained this nice looking early '70's Magnavox T979 solid state color console. This one has no vertical deflection and I understand that this was the first all solid state Magnavox color chassis. It's also the first T979 that I've seen; but, I've heard of them through an old Magnavox repairman that I knew and he didn't think too highly of them. Maybe your thoughts differ from his. The only reason I got it is because it looks to have a strong CRT and given the fact that it was their first SS color chassis.
