How about a Philips console? (now with chassis #)

Still wanting an upscale console. Found another one at the same thrift store.

This one is branded a Philips (Rather than Magnavox). 25 in or so. DBX sound. Unlike this Quasar mentioned a few weeks ago, this one won't even turn on.

Not sure of the model number (stores is closed now) It's not one of the usual Magnavoxes that had the onscreen menus, like the models that have the display and status buttons that Magnavox sold millions of. This one seems to be slightly older as far as I can tell. Similar though, but still different.

Tubes and Fly backs ok? I know the aforementioned Magnavoxes tended to have some problem, and I wonder if it affected this Philips unit as well. I liked the curved design, but it needs refinished, and one side lost its cloth speaker cover.

Is it worth looking at?
