You'll probably need to be a bit more specific. Something tells me that you're looking for the schematic for _your_ model of Magnavox television set, from 1954 - not some other piece of Magnavox equipment made in 1954... <grin> Go to the Sam's website and type in the chassis number, and find out what photofact number it is. Then it'll be easier to look for. Check your library, they might have Sam's photofacts - the one here does, all the way back to the mid 50's. Not sure if they'll have the one you need, but I can check when I know what TV you have...

I think I know what set you mean...I'll see if I can do a scan of it.

CHAD,thanks,man...BIG DAVE's been lookin with me and tryin to find it to start restorin the set,and it's kinda funny,the number on the OUTSIDE of the cabinet is different from the number ON THE CHASSIS lol and it's a pain to take off the back and put it back on just to check numbers.thanks!

Can you give me the model and chassis numbers please...At one time I had found the sams for this set but I am having severe trouble finding it again! We have all the sams folders here so it should be here somewhere, just cant seem to find it.

It's in SAMS 287. The model numberon the cabinet did not cross, but the chassis number did. Perhaps, if you have it, Frank and I could both download it, so there is a backup available if necessary.

I'll be needing a print for the 8" RCA personal portable. I'll get the SAMS number later. Let me know if there is something you need. If I have it, I can send it.

Thanks for the number...will need to scan in the next couple days. Sams and scanner are at the shop, need to head home now.
