Had this Magnavox given to me today.

I saw a listing that said "moving, everything must go". This is what I ended up getting for free. The radio works, and sounds great. I plugged my phone into it, and my music sounds really nice through it.

The knobs exhibit a little scratchy sound when turning them. There is no needle in the cartridge, and the automatic funtion seems to not function, as I can't get the "dial knob" for the turntable to go into the "AUTO" position. The table turns while in manual mode. The tone arm floats freely from side to side. SO I have an old needle I will install to test it out probably in a day or two.

The main reason I got this is to possibly switch out the turntable on my smaller console, that looks to use the same turntable. That turntable has skipping issues, as the tone arm binds up laterally. It's pretty dusty, and has people grime here and there. Some scratches, but nothing too hideous. Some Olde English will make it look a lot better.

Anyone know which model this is? It goes pretty loud, and has decent tone. I haven't had the back off, as it is so HOT outside, and I dropped it off at my storage unit. It must be 100 degrees over there.
