Hello all. A new member here and my name is Dan. I have run a TV and general electronics repair center for a little over 40 years. Currently I am working on a vintage (now there's an over-worked word) Magnavox console stereo. It is a tube type amp and tuner and I am hoping to find a schematic. Model # is 1ST61, Amp numbers are 88-02-00, or 549123. I am not so concerned with the tuner right now. Anybody know if the print for this amp exists?

Welcome Dan! You might take a look at the "downloads" section to see what there is.

Hey, Dan, welcome! I'll bet you bring a bunch of knowledge and skill that some of us (I raise my hand) lack. And yes, we love photos.

Thanks for the introduction Dan. Having been a tube jockey as a teenager, I gotten lucky fixing lots of old stuff since.
I have seen schematics for these packaged separately into the Sams Photofact for a television. Often you find an amplifier in a folder of a phono-only player but the tuner only included with a TV theatre model's photofact number that can only be found using a TV chassis , NOT model number.
I checked and have a few like it, the AMP 88-02 is in Sams set 591-folder 8, Ill reply to this thread after its in downloads.
Luckily, I have worked on quite a few simple Magnavox models like your patient, models that seemed to sell well to thrifty folk in PA.
