With the Magnavox Windsor-at least HIGH quality mono-beats crappy POOR quality stereo anytime.I would mean those Stereos with the dopy IC amps and tinny 6" speakers!Yes,the lower half with the speakers,amps,and tuner,TT would be the most useful.Sadly the TV can't be used unless you have the converter.You could say this unit was certainly an early home entertainment center or home theater.
