Hey wow Dave a stand up Magnavox!! I've read about these on this forum! Sweet combo find! It is what I believe is a transistor set 1974 or so?

Wait a minute... That stereo looks awfully like my old 1968 Magnavox flat combo unit I had a few years back. And a closer look that CRT looks like a 90deg CRT. Let us know what you find!

Sorry, but that is just hideous. Velvet paintings, lava lamps and that thing. It's vertical because floor space is at a premium in a trailer.

That sounds an awful lot like what I hear people say about virtually any old TV.

Yep, my GF says "we don't live in an f***ing trailer" when I bring sets home.

I agree that this set is about a '68 like Shawn is thinking.

Dan Starnes · #7 10-05-2009, 05:04 PM

Heck, I think it is cool. Too much money,, but cool.

I think its cool too. Its kinda like a 90s entertainment center built into one. I would be all over that thing.

It is hideous if all that molding is plastic, but I would take this over "mid-century modern" stuff any day.

I like it! I would take it in a minute! T966 chassis I bet!

The lower part of the cabinet is identical to the stereo my parents had - they bought it in 1969 or 1970.

DaveWM · #12 10-06-2009, 07:25 AM

I would like to check it out but have not heard back from them

I would not pay that much for it since I have no idea of the problems, but would like to at least check it out.

I don't get it, list it and then don't respond.... there is no phone number so I had to email back. I doubt it went flying out the door, we don't have that many collectors around here, I know most of them and this is not a prize they would go after.

I love it when the seller tells you where the value is :roll eyes:

I've sent messages to sellers on CL, and in most cases, got a reply back several days later. Only once have I got a response within 24 hours.

Sometimes, the uglier an item is, the better. I don't think it's UGLY, but I can't say it's attractive. It is, however, kinda cool and I think it should have one of those 70's hanging lamps next to it with the oil running down the fishing lines!

DaveWM · #14 10-06-2009, 08:51 AM

I remember those Charlie

avocado kitchen appliances etc...

I want to get one of those velvet paintings!

Gotta love the 60's/70's

I saw a color organ on ebay, sweeeet. I made one of those back in the day, used a little audio transformer, 3 RC cicuits, some SCR's, christmas tree lights, and one of those plastic mosaic floresent light panel covers. Made some for a guy that had a disco club (I was all of 13 at the time) 20$ each for 4 of them, I was rolling in dough..

freakaftr8 · #15 10-06-2009, 09:57 AM

Ah yes Charlie, the Craigslist rant..... Arrogant and witty all at the same time, but only to respond in like a week becuase just so happens when they posted the item, they had family come into town or they went on vacation, or something like that..

Epsecially the ones that already sold the item in question, just to not respond back because they sold it and figure yoiu will just go away and figure it out for yourself eventually.

love it...

Shawn
