This one dates to 1977

They made some beautiful color portables in the 70`s

I have a bad picture of my Trinitron, I can get a better one when the circus leaves the house. I like your sets, and the stereo, I'd like one for the collection.

I have a new 52" Samsung LED, a 5 year old 55" Hitachi rear projection unit, and a 12 year old 27" Sanyo. Nothing is wrong with the Hitachi, but after remodeling and re-arranging, it just takes up too much floor space. The Samsung and console have a smaller foot print and don't present such a massive visual effect in the room. The Hitachi will be put on wheels and stored in the garage to be wheeled out onto the back patio for "Movie Nights" with friends.

1974, good vintage

I only played mine once to see if it worked! It does. I'm going to hook it to a DVD when I can. I found an identical set in the same Goodwill for $12, but left it because it didn't work. I'd like to find a working 1969 15 inch Magnavox color portable, probably in that same type composition wood cabinet.

Not all my Sony`s work

There are still alot more duplicates that I havent posted - I just didn`t want these sets to get destroyed.

If that trinitron you left behind is in good cosmetic condition & has a wood cabinet you might consider returning & saving it .

Unfortunately, it was a few months ago

Hopefully some collector type got it, that occured to me too, but I have an incredible glut of things, if I ever do see another, home it comes. I hate seeing any tv or console stereos lost to scavengers or dumpsters. They're worth something to me. I'd like a complete vintage console tv, working or not.

You will have it .

I`ve seen a few magnavox consoles on e-bay within the past year 1962 or 63 models they were both in california .

There is a guy on U-tube that goes by the name emerson collie He just rescued an early 60`s magnavox tv console - You would enjoy seeing it.

I`ll keep on the look out for you.

I've seen Emersoncollie's video, great set!

Those have shown up around here, but years ago, and in slightly different forms. Next one comes home. I'd even like a tv only, with the input for the second channel of a console stereo. Thanks for the lookout idea!
