Check out this pair of Magnavox tv cabinets

I have never quite seen a console of this magnitude before! All I can say is.... I'm speechless.

Magnavox has a long history of monster sets, there's a 1940's combo set like this (minus the 8 track of course) those sell in the 2k range, the 70's version not so much...

Oh wow! I guess if they were selling that on Ebay it would be pick up only.

I never knew they made sets that big.

1948 RCA Berkshire Breakfront !!!!!

236 units seems to be quite high. I'm surprised they sold that many. I'm sure they weren't cheap either.

Here is a photo of my Imperial Windsor Maganvox operating. Chuck A has a terrific write-up on his set at his website:

You sure have some neet stuff John! The guy that checks out with the most toys wins. I guess you are a prime contender John!

[John Folsom]

Well, I dunno about that, but bigger IS better! :-)

A local antique mall had one of those for over two years with no takers. they finally put it in the dumpster.

I hope you mean like the ones at the head of this thread... Not like John Folsom's

Those upright Magnavox color combos are fairly rare, but I've repaired a few dozen of them. Some are still in use, as they made them right through the 80s. The rarest would be the roundie version, of which I've only seen 3 or 4 total.

I remember that RCA made a cherry wood armoir style set with a CTC-21 chassis and their highest end stereo for the time. I know this because I snagged the innards as they decided to keep the cabinet. I was really lucky to get the tv chassis, speakers, tuner, turntable, power supply and all knobs/faceplates.

Charles,
yes i was referring to the 70's Magnavox, not the 40's version,
which even tho that cabinet style is not to my taste, I would have made room for it!
I believe the one the antique mall had was an early to mid 70's model because it had the later chromed tonearm collaro
changer, and all the decorative accents were of that orrendous plastic wood.

Whew! the 40's version would have been tragic! though I imagine they wouldn't trash one of those because any Anti-Q shop worth their salt would know what Drexel is.

I want one of the 70's version for my bedroom, but Arizona is a little to far away. Now if it showed up close to West TN I would get it.
