Thanks Orthophonic, I figured it was somewhere in that range. I saw a high end Zenith with a more deluxe version of the rh control VM similar to the one I posted.
Regarding Magnavox pricing compared to Zenith, it seems like that was one of their selling points, they illiminated the "middle man" their stock was from factory to dealer, no warehouse. Magnavox for years had such simple looking controls and changers in most of their sets, they started getting more gadgety and flashy in the 1971 model year. Then, it was downhill, like all of the other manufacturers. The Imperial line in the Astro-Sonic era was as deluxe as they could get them, all had high end reel to reel tape recorders, changers with damped cuing and stylus pressure adjustment, (ceramic pickup) and cabinets made by either Hammond organ, or Allen organ.
