    Magnavox 8802 Volume Pot Issue

    Newbie here, I tried wiring a dual 100k volume pot in my Magnavox unit. I am not sure what I did wrong. When I turn the volume higher on the pot the unit goes haywire. Low volume music plays fine. Please see pictures. Any help appreciated

    Magnavox 8802 pull finds a new home. Could be a hallmark story.

    Greetings, So I ended up with an old 7 tube am/fm Coronado console from a friend for free. Of course it didn't work at the time but after doing a re-cap and alignment I found that one of the FM transformers was open. Bummer, I really liked the 1940's wood console look and it's smaller then the...

    Picked up Magnavox 8802 console

    Finally found a Magnavox stereo console in my area, paid more then I should have but it fit in the back of my car and worked to a point and had the stereo mpx decoder deal, turn table might be shot but haven't ruled it out and I have a backup in nice condition so may finally have a fully working...

    Magnavox 6v6 Stereo Console amp rebuild

    Hey guys. I recently picked up a nice old Magnavox 8802. Well, I think it is an 8802, but when I google 8802, mine seems different from most I come across. I have two 12ax7's, a 7025 for Phono, four 6v6's, and a 5u4gb rectifier. 4 trannies, so I have the choke. I want to get started recapping...

    6v6 PP choosing between 9k and 12.8k tran

    I have a great sounding and looking little rebuilt Magnavox 8802 that really is limited by the output transformers, I also have an old pair of 30w PP transformers laying around, so I think to myself project time. I just don't know which load would be the better option. RCA says 10k for 6V6 pp...

    8802 tube swap 6EU7 to 12AX7 and grid voltage

    EDIT: [SOLVED] the problem was that I was counting pins backwards, i.e., I was reading the pin-out diagrams as though they were top views instead of bottom views. TL;DR: First project. Swapped 6eu7 for 12ax7 (with DIY adapter) but I'm getting 80VDC on the grid and don't know why. I'm...

    A modified Magnavox 8802 in the Gillespie style

    Having cleared a couple of projects off the bench, of course it's time to start a new one. As you may recall, I built a Magnavox 8802 clone for my daughter last year for Christmas... I was planning to do the same for my son this year -- holy cow if the stuff isn't THE SAME, sometimes you sure...

    Time to Replace Power Transformer in Magnavox 8802?

    My Magnavox 8802 has been fully recapped and new resistors all around. It sounds great but there is some tar leaking from the (original) PT, only a very small blob at the moment, and a vibration that is emanating from the transformer. The vibration is pretty noticeable in a quiet room. Should I...
