Think you got it bad?....check out these videos ....This guy has a museum of magnavox in his basement, but he worked for Magnavox ....here he demos a Imperial astrosonic ... Glad I have one , as the way he explains it , these were not sold everywhere ....this looks to be the aegean model from the catalogue ... I have the mediterranean model ...I wish my remote would work...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkQcXdJ-Pz8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u6wG_ngMFo

Very interesting, Elton. Thanks for sharing. Rex, this guy is located in Cumming Georgia. Is that anywhere by you?

Here's his eBay ad:

Sheer insanity. $1095 in 1967? Big whoop, a Fisher President sold for over twice as much.

And here I thought $2000 for the set in Finds was insanity!

Correct ... I don't know of any console that could demand today's rates. I guess it comes down to whatever a person is willing to pay

I reached out to this guy, his name is Jim, he says he worked for magnavox till they closed in the 70's... he knows a lot of info about Magnavox... I sent him a link and invited him to join the forum and impart some of his knowledge on us .... maybe he will maybe not ... doesn't hurt to try

Thank you Elton! I appreciate your taking the time to give us a plug.....

[William]

Yes, thank you Elton. I was going to do just that after Christmas so I'm glad you beat me to it. I hope he does join our little forum.
