North of SF Stereo Theater

Post: # 5584Post Hydrolastic »

If this was closer I would get this! I just love a early stereo theater. I hope to get one in working shape someday. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/d/ ... 06391.html

That one is a 1962 or later. Earlier than 1962 would have a hard-wired TV chassis. That one clearly has a printed circuit chassis TV. They are not tough to work on. Lots of dangling wires and schematics and service literature can be dicey. You have to do a lot of guessing to repair one. The things are works of art. I hope somebody rescues this instrument. Single-ended amp. Is the left speaker 15" and the right one 12"? I'm sure they are the same size, but they look different.

I thought the same the speakers are different sizes... maybe because the changer takes up the room?

I've been looking at the speakers in this Stereo Theater. I'm beginning to think they are the same size, just positioned differently. Notice how they are mounted on the speaker boards. The right hand one is positioned much lower than the left hand one is. Good old Magnavox. Whatever it takes to make it work. Let wires dangle wherever, save two cents on each unit not lengthening them so they look better. :oops: ;) :shock: :?
