    Stereo Console Power Supply Issues

    Hi Everyone! I recently got a Magnavox stereo console to upgrade off of Facebook Marketplace. I checked it out in person, and the console turns on and can very poorly play AM/FM radio, which seemed like good signs of an excellent base to work off of. I took it to an audio shop to get checked...

    A Zenith 7D30 (7D31 family) Console Tube Amp Troubleshooting Thread...

    Hello everyone, First let me say that I am very new to audio and tube based electronics. With that said, I recently recapped my first tube amp and preamp in a 59 Zenith SFD220. I also replaced every resistor as there were many pretty far out of spec. This is the "weird" Zenith, as I have come...

    Anyone recognize this console

    I saw this for sale and like the look, but haven't heard back any more information. Anyone recognize it. I know it's not much to see, but only photo I have so far.

    Seeking info on Vintage 1970's Magnavox Console Stereo

    Greetings everyone. A little while ago, I stumbled across some pictures online of a console series that I grew up with for many years. There's 6 pictures below, but they're not all the same unit. Only 2 are from the same unit that I'm aware of. But, they all look very much similar. The one I...

    Zenith Console Restore & Troubleshooting

    Just picked up a Zenith Tube console I want to restore. It powers on and I have sound coming out of the small tweeters but nothing out of the 12" woofers. I'm going to start with cleaning the pots first before I move on unless there are any other suggestions. Everything inside looks to be...

    Emerson Consoles - Yes, No, Maybe?

    Hi All, A Console recently came available locally, and the seller states it is tube. I don't see the words solid-state anywhere, so will make the assumption he has it right. Looking at the item, it's not especially visually appealing, and the TT doesn't appear branded, so I'm not sure that...

    Need advice on rehabbing an old stereo console

    First, sorry if this isn't the place for this thread! Now, I know, I know, stereo consoles are the worst. The speakers tend to be bad and the design of putting the turntable in the same body as the speakers is awful. I'm totally with you and I agree. But I think they're awesome anyway. This...
