RARE!!! 1948 Maganvox Windsor Imperial with Stephens horn

If I'm looking at the right one on ebay there is a difference in that one and the one Greg Blythe owns. Greg Blythe's horn is a field coil (model 58000 6) and the one on ebay is a permanent magnet (model 58000 5). The field coil units usually bring quite a bit more money. I have saw them bring over $2,000 but with the economy in the condition that it is who knows. There was a 58000 6 that only brought $800 on ebay but he sold it as parts and untested.
Could be. The only one i looked at with any scrutiny was the corner horn.

I figure the 4 wires running to the horn driver combined with the AC power cord are a pretty good indication there's a field coil driver in there somewhere.

Over the past several years, I have recapped the Tuner, Amp and TV. They are all working now. :) Unfortunately, I havent gotten to the phonograph, needs a rubber drive wheel and some tone arm work.

As you know this is a rare piece of radio history. Any thougts on how much the its worth? I cannot seem to locate any comparable pieces or prices. The unit includes the prized Stephens trusonic horn. Seems the horn itself can fetch upwards of a couple thousand.

Thanks, Greg
As was suggested, the Drexel Heritage cabinet stripped of components is worth quite a bit. Here’s an example that sold for $1,800

It says that the horn is a 58000 6 so that would indicate that it is a field coil horn. I'd love to hear a pair of them in a good system.
 
amazing! seen a Magnavox table recently and though (for the second time) 'what is a piece of furniture doing on Ak?' it had a stereo unit hidden in it! impressive. possibly designed for apartments with minimal space, as it takes up a wall. bet it originally sold for an arm and two legs. thanks.
