Nice sound Jason. Especially for a 45 rpm record. How many Magnavoxes do you now have?

As long as we are discussing console stereo....

Who sourced Sears Silvertone consoles? To me this looks awfully "GE"ish.

Great Video Jason!

Your Console is in great shape! I love the sound of all of the vintage Magnavox Consoles. Great amps and speakers. And they seemed to hold up well over time!
Shawn Cassidy! Oh a blast from my young past. Yay!
Allen, I think that Silvertone was an actual company. Their turntables in there Sears consoles were very good, when new.

Sounds great, looks great. I had such a crush on Shaun and David Cassidy. I'm going to have to download some of their music, to relive the good ole days.

Silvertone

Sears-Silvertone was never an actual company nor do I recall their stuff being sourced by GE.
Silvertone was just a name brand that Sears placed upon product produced for their stores. The actual manufacturers varied.
It is my understanding that their better TVs and stereos for that era (1960s) were made by Warwick Electronics in Chicago - a child of Pacific-Mercury. Some other stuff was sublet to Arvin Industries of Columbus, Indiana.
Warwick, Pacific-Mercury, Thomas Organ - all related and owned partially by Sears Roebuck and Company.
Admittedly though, after fixing many of those Silvertone consoles - it was really hard to tell who made their innards. Those GEs though were much different and had really kick-butt designs. Those GEs were HI-FI!

Nice Consoles

I love the console stereos. I used to clean house for a lady, and she had a beautiful console stereo. I would listen to it when I was cleaning the family room and kitchen. We didn't have the same taste in music, but she didn't mind I liked country, she didn't. Sometimes I would take a stack of 33's to listen to. I wonder if she still had it.

I also liked her washer, a Lady Kenmore, don't remember the year. All I remember is the nubs on the agitator. She also had a KitchenAid dishwasher stainless steel front. It didn't work very well she lived in the country, and they had their own well, with very hard water, and not much water pressure. It took for ever for the washer to fill.

I have an early to mid 70s Monteverdi stereo cabinet with a Lloyds AM/FM, phono and 8 track recorder. It belonged to my mom. I took pics but they are too large and won't load.

Those are some very nice consoles. I think 1964 was the first year for transistorized Magnavox consoles (Astro-sonic=Solid State)
