Magnavox 1ST212 Console Help

[Seancoffey1]

Just received a magnavox 1ST212 150 watt stereo console. Looking for some help getting it into safe working order. I have never worked on an amp or stereo before. The unit does not have the wiring diagram in it so I’m looking for that too. Any insight on restoring these would be much appreciated thank you. I did plug it in for a few seconds and it does play out of the one speaker hooked up. Thank you again

A couple of things:

Depending on how deep you want to go with this based on the above I suggest you have an experienced, capable tube technician go through it. Your console and the components in it are over 60yr's old and will benefit from being assessed and more then likely replaced.

The power amp looks to be a model "Amp 196" or variation of

Thank you, I appreciated your concern but I won’t learn anything about it paying someone else to fix it. Right now im looking for the basic wiring layout for the unit, tuner to amp to speakers. There’s usually one of the layouts inside of these cabinets but this one has been removed. It’s missing most of the speaker wires and from the tuner to the record player. If the amp still has paper resistors I plan on replacing all of those and I have all new tubes for it.
