Vintage Finds Online: Electronics Part One

[Ultramatic]

 

 

I've read that Muntz was a cheap TV in it's day because of the quality of the components used. How this one survived this long is a "wonder" all it's own.

Same here, as newvista58(Louis) - love the thread, you always find interesting things, as well, Louie.

I'll be absent for more than a week, as we do our annual trip to Michigan. I don't have a truck, or I'd stop along the way, probably -lol!

Yeah, the vintage color tv sets are getting more expensive in certain markets. People have high expectations of anything they can slap the word, "vintage" onto, even if the item is bedraggled and begging for burial.

YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THE WORD "VINTAGE" PHIL...

As soon as that word is attached to any object,
it changes everything and raises the stakes,
whether it's warranted or not.

The truth is that with the Audio / Visual
items, they are only worth what someone
is willing to pay for them. Someone has
to really love a certain TV, etc. for what it
is, as alot of these do not have mass appeal,
even amongthe Vintage collectors, at large.

They can ask what they want for it....Doesn't
mean they'll get it.

Hey Louie...

These are all so Awesome. It's really
tough being "addicted" to the consoles,
as they do take up alot of space.

I'd love to have them all, but it is
what it is / LOL.

BTW Everyone. If you see any of the TV
Stands /Carts, like in #26, grab them as
they are just as rare and a sought after
commodity as the TV's they hold.

Keep 'em coming Louie. Thanks.

Louis

PHIL. I WISH YOU COULD HAVE #46......

That is an awesome Console. I love the Magnavox
ones A lot.

I'm still "Rootin'" for ya to find a console for

Thanks for the Great Pics

all in time

Louis - no biggie, I'm trying to get this "compartment" organized for the present herd of items we kept after selling off alot of other furniture, etc.

#46 is nice, but no way do I have room for a big unit. If I buy something that big, I'd rather have a tv/stereo combo...which are becoming scarcer to find, in good shape. I don't need the tv, but just the nostalgic vibes from it(my dad bought a big Zenith in 1964, walnut am/fm stereo - color tv ...wished he had kept it. Solid heavy beast, but sounded great. Oh well. I'll get there, Louis - thank you and I'm stlll lookin' for that Easy.

 

[twintubdexter]

Interesting

I've never seen a Magnavox Hi Fi with a built-in clock. Perhaps a little overpriced but very nice shape. Probably another easy turntable fix. Of course it's not mid 60's. $195 in Madison.

Reply #51

I agree, that's interesting. I wish the seller had more info - what model, year, etc. I like the storage area - my Maggie doesn't have any room for records. I payed $50, though, and it didn't have a clock...but I like my cherry finish better...though, all these older units are neat.

 

[tolivac]

Think the "Clock" Magnavox is more like from the mid 50's then 60's.Never seen one with the clock.Seems like you could use it like a clock radio?-Or perhaps have a record pre-Q-ed on the TT and have it start playing at a preset time.NEAT if that is how it worked.Recognize the Biamp power amp below the speaker-may be a coaxial speaker must be a tweeter in the large speaker.-Woofer coax mounted tweeter-speakers like that common in those early days of Hi-Fi.

[twintubdexter]

Magnavox electronics installed in a custom cabinet. I assume this was not a factory model since Magnavox was still using sliding tops in the mid 1960's (tuner looks to be 1967 vintage.) 8 feet long, it makes a statement in a nice contemporary cabinet. $399 in Fresno.
