My first and only tube tv I ever found was a Magnavox. Found it in a back room of an antique store, paid 100 for it not working. Found out almost all of the mylar caps were shorted, lots of resistors open or 50% out of tolerance and the convergence way out (sombody turned all the knobs and messed with the rings). Spent at least two weeks and 50 to 60 parts to get it working. For being built in 1970 that's an awful lot of parts bad. The picture is just passable (but has a good strong picture tube). Hard to work on and bottom of the line chassis. I'd gladly trade it for any tube Zenith from the late 60's.
