I'm new to Phonoland & need Help,

I bought a 1968 Magnavox Imperial Astro Sonic & can't seem to find out any information on it. It is there top of the Line Model. The Tuner Chassis Number Don't seem to Match the Picture in the Photcopy. What I need is the Faceplate & the Speaker Wiring & Someone Defeated the Interlock Non Polarized Power Cord. The 100-Watt Power Amplifier Seems to Work OK I ran it for 6-Hours the Other Day.
The Model Number is (1P4103). It came with a 4-Track Reel to Reel Tape Deck & the Original Microphones. This Model also came with 15" 6" Square Magnets Super Woofers made by CTS & there are (4) Long Neck Horn's (2) Per Side made by Heppner. Here is where the Big Proublem it came with a (2) Button Air Bellows Remote Control's with a Seperate Remote Control Box & Microphone Reciever. The Remote System is Suspose to Whistle at you. There are (2) Seprate Codes. I got (8) Remote Controls for Parts. I bought (3) Extra Reel to Reel's. The Turntable Model is (W620) 4-Speed Silver Micromatic. The Person didn't know how to Remove the Faceplate & it's Really Damaged. The Person even broke the Dial Glass which I Replaced & he Robbed the Dial Lamps which I also Replaced. I bought a Mint Reconditioned Turntable. But I Really Need a Faceplate & I would take a Tuner if I have to? I also do not know how to Wire up the Speaker's & Speaker Crossover Board which i also have. The Tuner Faceplate has (6) Large Knobs on the Right side of Faceplate & there are (2) Small Knobs on the Left Side of Faceplate One on Top & One on the Bottom & Last App 1 1/2" below Magnavox Logo there are (2) Black Plastic Pushbuttons these (2) Button's are for the Remote Control Model's Only. 1 Button is to Start the Turntable Cycle when Pushed because there is a 2-Wire Reject Record SOLONOID mounted under the Turntable Chassis. The Wires go to back of Tuner Chassis. The Other Button is for Power Tuner & Loudness. When you Push the (2) Buttons on the Remote you hear a Puff of Air No Batteries in Remote Control just a Air Bellows. I have to figure out how to Restring the Tuner Cord also. The Tuner Chassis don't match. But this One is as close as I could come up with (R221-01-AA/BA. & A595-01-AH) and the Power Amplifier Chassis Number is (A576-01/02, A577-01-AA, R223-01/02 or R223-01-DC). The 2 Woofers are Monsters & Hudge & Weight is 50 Pounds for the (2) Woofers only. Where can I get the Speaker & Speaker Crossover Board & there is a Seprate Speaker Control that Mounts just above the Reel to Reel.
Also where do I find the Right Power Cord. It either had (2) Rivits drilled out or a Metal Clip that held the Power Cord on the Back Carboard Pannel. So is there anyone out there that could Help me out?
Thanks. Ron

It's Ron again,
I forgot to say in my last Post that the Magnavox 4-Track Reel to Reel Model is (1K0885) it is in Mint Condition I got the Original OEM Factory Microphones, OEM Factory Patch Cords & Tape Head Cleaner these were still in Factory Boxes. I also got a Brand New NOS Pair of Magnavox Headphones never used made around 1963 they are Hudge & made in FT.Wayne, In. This is the Most Compacated Console I have ever tackled so I need some help out there. I just keep scratching my Head over this. I would pay up to $75.00 to get a Mint Faceplate.
Thanks
