Hello from another southern California dwelling old television set nut. A lot of us like to "watch" our sets from the back. I have a 1959 Magnavox like that with the 24" tube:
http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...highlight=herb The style of knob on yours makes it newer than my '59, probably early 60s. Does it have uhf, if it doesn't it would also have to be 1963 or older. Magnavox transistor stereo consoles usually said "Astrosonic" on the control panel somewhere, if it doesn't the radio and amp unit are probably tube, if it does it's transistor. And I can never quite manage to get those record changers working properly either.
