Hello everyone, I am looking for a midsized Magnavox Console Stereo, preferably a Tube type set. I do like the Astro-Sonics as well, but you don't seem to get that "warm glowing" sound like you do out of a tube model, so that's why I'm looking for a tube model first before an Astro-Sonic.
I am looking for one because I am getting my 1960 Magnavox Imperial completely restored and refinished. I want it to last me 50 years so I want to do this right. I want a Console to replace it while this one is being overhauled. I hope once completely restored, it will sound just as good as one of those concert grands! Really I have no reason to look for one if those now that I have the Imperial, what do you think?
I'm looking for a midsized tube set because I'm sort of low on space but on the other hand don't want a real small or low end one either. I have included some pictures so you could get an idea what I'm looking for.
I'd like to find one that's already been restored so I won't have to do anything to it but plug it in, as I know nothing about taking these things apart and working on them myself. I am in Pennsylvania so finding one that is no more than a day drive away is critical, as I will probably need to pick the unit up. Here is what I'm thinking price wise.
Completely restored: $300/$400
Gone over - $250.00
Somewhat restored: $200/250
Not touched: $75 to $150 depending on condition.
I'm not interested in any stereo that's scratched (not the norm wear and tear) or damaged.
If you have a stereo like the pictures shown below or know where I can get one let me know. The models don't need to be the same as the ones in the pictures, if so great! If not something similar should be just fine. Preferably not an Astro-Sonic.
Let me know by Private Messaging me or replying to this and I'll send you my Email.
Thanks,
Mike
