Besides the coffee table sets-don't forget the "chairside" Magnavox Hi Fi systems.Used to know a neighbor that had one-great sound!the unit that contained the TT,tuner-amp and one speaker system was beside his chair-the other unit on the other side of the room.

Yes, I have the contemporary chairside unit myself, dates to around 1968, I do not have the companion speaker/record storage though. I found both of them months before I bought the one I found.

Magnavox Cabinet Maker?
Does anyone here know who the cabinet makers were for Magnavox?
I know GE was William Tell, RCA Victor made alot of their own furniture in the RCA Victor Furniture Factory & Lane did some in their Alavista, Virginia furniture factory and Fisher cabinets were made by Drexel.
By far whoever made Magnavox cabinets was the best!

Cabinets
I don't know who made Magnavox cabinets. Wish I did know...
I know some anecdotal stuff.
Admiral had their own cabinet plant in Shelbyville, Indiana.
Zenith bought a Philco cabinet plant at some point. I think their later stereo cabs came from there.
GE also had connections with Ethan Allen. I know Ethan Allen TVs were rebadged GEs in Ethan Allen cabinets.
And of course, Curtis Mathes started as a cabinet plant and later turned in to a TV/STEREO manufacturer.
I remember veteran TV repairmen stating that the best cabinets were from Magnavox and DuMont.

I know Drexel did the Magnavox Windsor models in the '40s and early '50s. I believe most of the cabinets were made in Greeneville, Tennessee. A friend of mine mentioned the name Kimball, not the organ people.

The set is at least a 1969 Magnavox Total Automatic Color Mediterranean armoire. Anything newer would have a roll out record player and different trimming on the record player. I'm sure you won't have a great deal of trouble getting rid of it, and it is way too nice to go somewhere that someone would gut it and "repurpose" it.
