If you're picking it up, make sure you bring some very strong people. That set is HEAVY!!

Finally have been able to arrange for a pick-up time. Tomorrow mid day. Look for pix once I get it home and unloaded. Yippee!

PUH-LEEZE Be Careful ! DON'T hurt yrself, OR the set...

Like I said, these sets are HEAVY!! It took SIX strapping young men to get mine into the house.

Congrats. I look forward to seeing the pictures!

Yep, I about killed myself on mine.....several times. I've moved it about 5 times over the years, up the stairs, down the stairs, in a storage locker, back out and back in again.LOL! It's the same set but a rectangular screen. Weighs an efffin ton!

OK......back home after a long day of driving, loading and unloading. Here are some pictures of the set. It is a Magnavox model 2MR556K in Fruitwood with a C39 television chassis. The lady I bought it from is the original owner who is 81 years old. She told me that the TV hasn't worked in a long time, and she's just been using it as a stand for current TV. The inside is really dusty but looks totally unmolested. It has the original Magnavox 21FJP22 tube, which started out a little flat, but is waking up nicely with running the filaments for a while. The photo of the CRT tester shows what I measured after about 10 minutes of wake-up. I'll leave it cook for an hour or so and re-test. The set has the original remote control and the 45RPM adapter for the turntable. The amp and tuner are solid state, and there are a 15" woofer and horn tweeter on each side of the cabinet.

that is going to sound great. looks like its been well cared for (81 year old folks knows how to take care of things) Great that it went to a collector, bet she was glad to know that.

No kiddin'....(grin)

Nice lookin set glad you saved it from the scrapadoos tobad the radio and amp is not tubes post pictures when fixxed...Timothy

That is some kind of pretty, I'm glad you got it! I think a lot of the sellers really are glad to see someone who appreciates their old sets go to a good home. Enjoy the heck out of it!

Just a little FYI: The remote will also allow you to change records.

even though its not tube, those old astrosonics sound pretty good. I have a couple and they do very well.
