Hello...Sold the "Nice Maggie"!!

[MrMagnavox]

Hello. Terry DeWicke introduced me to your forums...I think they're great. He told me about the postings which related to my 1965 Magnavox "Roundie" combination on eBay. I found them very interesting! I had it listed at $475 and had ALOT of email on it. No bids though. So I re-listed with the "Buy It Now" feature and sold it for $369 to a fellow who will be driving up from Florida.

I'm a bonafide Magnavox collector-nut and have literature and equipment dating from the Company's inception in 1911 to the present. I assembled the collection into a Magnavox Museum (approx. 1400 sq. ft.) which covers their top-of-the-line items from each decade, as well as items representative of some of their lesser known businesses (e.g. sonobouys and aircraft radios for US Government, electronic organs, band instruments, satellite navigationfor ships, and satellite surveying equipment). I'm interested in "all things Magnavox" so if any of you have a Magnavox you'd like to tell me about...I'll always be happy to listen. I also have sufficient literature to identify nearly every television, radio and phonograph that they produced.

Technically speaking (from a repair standpoint) I'm pretty handy mechanically, but I have no formal electronics training so I'm not really able to tackle sophisticated circuit repairs - although I have successfully replaced a couple color picture tubes (including rudimentary convergence and color gun set-ups). Someday I would like to find someone local in Atlanta who could help me get a few old Magnavox televisions back in order (dates range from 1948, thru 1950s, 1960s and 1970s).

So long for now.

Best regards,
