Nice 1961-2 Magnavox Console $50

Post: # 17274Post Hi-Fi-Mogul »

I've always liked this understated modern cabinet
design.

Bill or Greg, please ID this model.

Too far away for me.

Price is right.

You'll need to give me a couple days on that one! I'd say, by the looks of it, it would be a 1962 or '63 model. Look at the big rectifier. That baby is a 5U4 like on the 93 series amp. It has 12" woofers and horns. I'm going to guess at this point maybe a really late Symphony. I think Bill has one very similar, so perhaps he will chime in and straighten us both out. It also has a Multiplex adapter. In any case, somebody needs to give it a good home. ;) :D

It is a Symphony, with the handles missing on the front of the cabinet. 9300 series amp and 100 series tuner just like mine. My woofers have round magnets and my MPX sits on the floor next to the 9300 series amp. I'm guessing this unit came with MPX from the factory and mine was added at some point. Great sounding units and definitely worth owning. I hope someone snags it.

This is a typical bargain for me, if less than 2 hours away :oops: not NE TX.

I have the same insides of these Mags in IP walnut and EA mahogany but this cabinet is pretty neat, not an expired style like mine.

My advice regarding these well-equipped consoles: C H E C K ALL R E S I S T O R S ;)
