Hmmm.....
That looks suspiciously like an early SS unit I have out in the garage. I kept it for eventual conversion into a liquor cabinet, but now I don't know if I have the time or motivation....

Those are fairly common. You see them at thrift stores and yard sales all the time. Could be tube but is probably an "Astro Sonic" SS. Before you go to look at it ask the usual tube questions. Does it turn on right away? Does it have a sticker on the back that says "No user serviceable parts inside"? Etc.

Looks similar to this one on CL, which I verified with the seller today is AstroSonic:

That looks just like the Magnavox unit that my brother purchased new in 1969. It was solid state with speaker grill cloths on the front (horn tweeters) exactly like in your photo. The side end-panel grill cloths hid the woofers.
Also, there was a Magnavox satellite speaker system that had two walnut veneered two-way speakers and a speaker switch-box that mounted on the back of the console cabinet. My brother purchased the satellite speakers, too.
Great sounding console unit. I was introduced to The Ventures, all The Beatles, Santana, The Lettermen, The Association, The Mamas & the Papas, The Sandpipers, etc. on it by my older sibling. Lots of great memories with that console.

yes!! 93xx in your console
I have the sams for this 93xx type amplifier and on the cover shows the identical model you have in it. dated 7-1962. Note if the am/fm receiver does not say astro-sonic anywhere on it, chances are its a tube model, usually called magnificent magnavox. hope this helps
