Well here are the two numbers on the rear of the chassis, you can see how I think the chassis # is missing..

I can't even imagine that. On the upside though, this looks like a very nice set for a fresh start. Not too common.

I think you found it. That "92010" #. It is either a T920 or a U920 I would say T920-10

Sams #887-2

T-920-10 would be my guess. The U numbers were usually used on the round tube chassis.

Bummer, I just found a whole 887 folder for 16$....Think I might just snap that up. One day I would like to get cd with all the photofacts on it....They are soooo nice to have for restorations and repairs..

look for the TAB book for magnavox, better schematic (factory) and generally has tips.

The SAMS website costs a bit more but gives instant gratification, you can get it digitally within 24 hours. If you assign some value to your time it's really not a bad deal at all considering what a great service
They provide.

Do a search for used Sams, you will find a lot that sell them
for 5-10 each. Be sure its a first gen NOT a copy. I dont
know what Sams sends now but I would be very careful
with PDF's etc, they can really suck.
