How about a Philips console? (now with chassis #)
Still wanting an upscale console. Found another one at the same thrift store.
This one is branded a Philips (Rather than Magnavox). 25 in or so. DBX sound. Unlike this Quasar mentioned a few weeks ago, this one won't even turn on. Not sure of the model number (stores is closed now) It's not one of the usual Magnavoxes that had the onscreen menus, like the models that have the display and status buttons that Magnavox sold millions of. This one seems to be slightly older as far as I can tell. Similar though, but still different. Tubes and Fly backs ok? I know the aforementioned Magnavoxes tended to have some problem, and I wonder if it affected this Philips unit as well. I liked the curved design, but it needs refinished, and one side lost its cloth speaker cover. Is it worth looking at? Last edited by Rod Beauvex; 11-15-2014 at 01:27 PM. |

Best to get the chassis ## off the back, model dont help.
Symptom of "dead set" up till the early 80's was a gravy job, afterwards it became increasingly bad news the newer you got. Have to deal with complex switching supplies & bad flybacks. Not sure what you wish on your upscale set but many very nice modern style sets were made through the mid 80's that are much easier to deal with. If you dont need MTS or a big jack pack there is a lot to choose from. 73 Zeno |

Model: 27H327-SA01
Chassis: 27c9-16 Manufactured 9-1987 in Greenville, TN Worth looking at or avoid like the plague? |

avoid it. Either something in the HV failed or the switching supply failed. If it were free & you can get rid of it for free it would be a good learning tool. Of course sometimes you get lucky & its a fuse, cold joint etc but dont count on it !!! This IS from the NAP family, Sylvania, Philco, Magnavox, Phillips. Not a true Phillips, IIRC you are in Canada & IIRC Phillips sold there own sets there once. 73 Zeno |

I live in the US, not too far from where the set was made, actually. About 30 minutes.
I'm not averse to replacing capacitors or tracking down a bad voltage regulator. Reflowing solder joints isn't an issue either. (I probably would be recapping it regardless.) As long as it isn't running on borrowed time by having a possibly dying flyback like the Quasar I asked about. |

I wasn't aware that Philips sold sets with the Philips badge at that time - most I've seen were post 1992 sets. C-9 chassis isn't all bad, but watch out for the white flybacks, the 1 ohm resistor failures, and the 160v caps. I'd nab it if the CRT was good.

There are two somewhat later model Magnavox sets. One needs convergence, the other had sound problems, but they appeared to have nice bright CRTs, which is what prompted my thread about CRT swapping.

Some NAPs had bad saw filters C-6 IIRC. No big deal if you can find one.
Its a lot to do with finding parts. Again C-6 IIRC you kept a list of parts to order OEM if the power supply was out. When you called it in often they would rattle off the ##'s before you could read them off. FBT's were a problem along with cold joints in the hoz out that caused the PCB to brew up. Most the C series chassis were solid except the C-3 IMHO. Later in the 90's they built some stuff I hated along with some good stuff. Like I said getting rid of the body is a big deal to me. Even in N.H. you gotta pay to junk a TV. Other than that take almost anything thats free & learn from it. OK being from US, got you confused with someone else. 73 Zeno |
