[QUOTE=Username1;3087484] Ours had a spot for UHF, but no tuner


Magnavox, like many TV manufacturers of the 1950s-'60s, probably offered this TV with UHF as an extra-cost option for areas with UHF and VHF or only UHF stations. Yours was apparently built for VHF-only areas, although a UHF converter could be used to receive such stations if and when they came to the owner's viewing area. The sets with factory-installed UHF tuners probably sold like hotcakes in areas like Fort Wayne, Indiana or Youngstown, Ohio, which only have (or had, before DTV) UHF local TV stations.
