    help identifying (and troubleshooting) a mystery magnavox cabinet

    Hi, all! So I'm new to this community, and I hate my first post being a request for help, but I'm stumped. I picked up this cab (http://imgur.com/a/I9AyNRX) at a thrift store this past Friday in hopes of restoring it. The turntable was seized and (the store claimed) audio was only coming from...

    Vintage Magnavox Astro-Sonic

    I have an early / mid-60's Magnavox Astro Sonic console (not sure of the date) that I inherited and have attempted to perform some basic maintenance on - at least to the extent of my abilities - but cannot get the turntable to spin properly. It plays, but the tempo is slower than it should be...

    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...

    Magnavox Berkshire Schematic

    Hey everyone, picked up this nice Magnavox Berkshire last night for $45 bucks, they were asking 60 but the radio didn't work as they said. I was worried about the transformers being bad and my fears came true today when I did a voltage test, the high voltage winding is bad. The speakers and...

    Preamp for a Magnavox 9300 amp?

    I just recently purchased a Magnavox 9300 series tube power amp but I still need a preamp. I listen to mostly records but have been known to spin up some CDs. Type of music: rock, country, soul; really just about anything with guitars, bass, drums, vocals. What would you suggest that I get for...

    So I found a beautiful Magnavox FD-2000 CD Player at a thrift store. It's an extremely rare, very early deck. Branded Magnavox, but it's a Philips CD-200 clone (it even has a Philips CD-200 sticker still attached to the bottom of the cabinet). My understanding is that people didn't know...

    Magnavox CD Player, FD 3030, made in Belgium circa 1984

    Dug this out of my garage, picked it up at a garage sale a while back--damned it it doesn't work, and beautifully at that, once it had warmed up. Any thoughts on this guy? Very retro, even if it plays digital media.

    Newbie Magnavox Micromatic W620 questions

    I picked up a late 60's Magnavox console (Model 1P3804) with a Micromatic turntable. I did some quick cleaning and greasing of the unit under the platter but I have not touched the motor or took the unit out to clean any components on the bottom side. The unit seems to be working well, but I do...
