Just wondering if the tubes in that TV are common types.
I saw that TV on Ebay and thought it was cool too.

I gots so many TV tubes and compactrons take up alot of room in my storage bins, pun intended.
This Magnavox and others in this era seemed to use the most standard tubes, 7 and 9-pin miniatures then 8-pin octals.
56-64 Mags were some of my best sets to show off my simple skills when I was a teenager. It seemed they did not automatically need paper caps like the Philcos, and were so easy to get looking good after some minor fixes.
