Re: Old Magnavox console 1944?
My understanding is that these are good performers. IT has FM capability. Those tuners show up on Ebay once in awhile. Probably worth $100 in the condition it's in. I'd recap it and go thru it if I was going to run it much. Good luck.

Elton, are you going to add it to your collection? It looks like it would be powerful and sound good too. You should go for it.

That unit looks closer to 1950 than 1944. I know it's newer than my 1947 unit. It's in nice shape.

That is a 1947 I believe, my Berkeley 134B has AM/SW and AMP on one chassis, so this must be a step-up.
The space above the escutcheon is for the FM tuner, which has its own power supply and plugs in to the tuner or amp. I have that FM in mine, but the AM-SW tuner is way better! If this has tunable wide-narrow switch for treble, go for it!

You folks all get the good stuff. This is what you get for "Magnavox Console" here on Craigslist.
