Were You a 1948/49 baby? Look at what Magnavox made back then -

[ovrphil]

1) Magnavox Console Stereo - $50 (Glen Burnie)- http://baltimore.craigslist.org/ele/5335748363.htm The AD: " Vintage Magnavox Console Stereo with turntable. Excellent condition, everything working. I believe this stereo was bought by my parents shortly after they were married in 1948. "

So contemporary for the late 40's or early 50's! (wink)

2)Magnavox Windsor console 1949 - $1500 (Dahlonega)- http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/ele/5323507110.html

Not stereo, but it might be closer to 1948 or 49 just a little more. (wink)

AD:"Has the horn tweeter, research Magnavox 58000
Has 4 6L6 tubes that need service "

The first one appears to have the same top and controls as the one my parents bought in '65 or '66. The second one could very well be from '49.

I HAVE A WINDSOR....LIGHT KNOTTY PINE CABINET.......

with the Optional FM tuner, as well. It is mounted under
the AM radio.

This thing is a Powerhouse, and has Great Sound.
I'm going to use it in my Western Room.
The old consoles are so Much fun.

Happy Holidays All.
