I had also heard that some of the early AM/FM Stereo Receivers (floor models and table top models) had to have a Multiplex unit installed in order to receive FM Stereo and wanted to know how hard it was to install or find these multiplex units for these old Magnavox consoles and if they had to be specific to the model of stereo you had or not or if any old Magnavox multiplex unit would work.Īlso The Chassis Numbers for the Amplifier and the Tuner on this Stereo are as follows: I've posted a few pictures of the unit in question. So I'm currently in the process of locating a new idler wheel for the record player that's under $50 (because most of the places I've searched at had the idler wheel for between $50-$80, and I'm kind of on a tight budget, I also need to replace the rubber motor mount gromets because the original ones started to turn to tar but then dried up and crumbled more or less. Also it has in it a Colaro Model C-60 4-speed record changer which is currently being serviced because the rubber on the idler wheel that controlled the spinning of the platter had a huge chunk of rubber broken out of it because it somehow got too hot at one point in time and caused the rubber to "melt" which in turn caused there to be a large "flat spot" in the idler wheel which then hardened over time and then broke off.

Another weird thing is that all of the Magnavox Consoles I've seen online that were similar to mine had covers on the back whereas mine never had a cover on the back of it originally (no screw holes or anything that indicate it was meant to have a back on it). Now here's the odd part, I have yet to see another one just like mine online anywhere, I see some that are similar to mine but not exactly like it. Anyways the tuner dial has no dial-lamp and its pretty stripped down basic when it comes to tuner dials, and it has the Civil Defense Markers on the AM Dial on the Tuner (it has 2 rather large red triangles marking the Civil Defense stations on the dial which from what I've read was in use until 1965 which puts the stereo pre-1965 which is why I dated the console to between 1956-1963 because of the style of the cabinet and because of the fact that all of the ones I've seen online that were similar to mine were from between 1956-1963.

Tuner Section: 6DT8, 6BE6, 6BA6, 6BA6, and 6AL5Īmplifier Section: 6CA4 (EZ81), 6BQ5 (EL84), 6BQ5 (EL84), and a 6EU7 (12AX7 clone with different pinouts and 6.3 volt filaments).Īnyways the cabinet has no model numbers, no serial numbers or anything else (the old paper label that was on the back came off years ago). Anyways the tube lineup in the thing is as follows: Hey all, I need a little help identifying what model of Magnavox Stereo Console I have and what year its from, it was a $6 Goodwill find and it fit perfectly in the back seat of my 2000 Chrysler Cirrus LX which is how I got the sucker home.
