i don't really like mid-late 80s hi-tech sets with squared screen corners like this Magnavox... i'm finding tons of them around, but i usually just get the speakers (when they're decently sized) and leave the rest of the set behind, maybe i'm going to regret this someday... but by now i prefer to save my storage space in the barn for those lovely old school "rounded corners" sets...

Yes you are right, The mag is too modern looking.
My uncle past away a couple months ago and I found this set in the bedroom when we where cleaning the condo out. I have one like it at my camp but the cabinet is trashed from it hitting the floor, So I am going to replace it with the mag in the pictures. Not to mention the 20C601 chassis had problems with flybacks. Did many repairs on this chassis when they where a couple years old and most of the time it was the fly.

i remember going with my dad to sun tv in columbus to purchase our first color set in 1965-december i believe.lazarus was selling the quasar works in a drawer set as a new 1966 model. they also handled magnavox and admiral at the time. the quaser had the worst picture ever! blues looked turquoise,reds were orange,yuk. ten years later i had 2 of those losers. given to me free and working properly. sylvania may have had a solid state portable-d07 chassis in 68-69,not positive though. we had the hybrid era (very good sets)and eventually solid state by 75-76.i was working in a repair shop as a pick-up and delivery man and did some light repairs. mr dixon said the quasar was so bad ,it set back solid state ten years!
