Console Advice

[faber12]

Here is a console that is listed for sale locally to me. Can anyone tell me if it has tubes, or is otherwise worth looking into for an asking price of $50?

Thank you in advance.

No tubes, Solid State.

Ok, thank you.

If it had an 8-track it would have been a dead giveaway.

Solid state Magnavox, about 1971.

Yes, I agree, not tube.

One giveaway is the turntable....too modern.

Since nobody answered part two of your question, I'm going to say no, not worth looking into.

I would buy it and gut it out with newer equipment.

Looks like decent piece of furniture.

More then likely it is however that green color is pretty atrocious.

You can find nice tube ones with better cabinets for less.

Some of those old Astro Sonic Magnavoxs have small separate SS amps in them. They do put out plenty of power. I've got one that would make a great Computer sound system amp....
