I finally got my new-old Maggi. I got this one on CL for $70. It was up in Oregon and I am bay area California. My brother gathered it up for me and we met half way yesterday to exchange toys. I bought this one totally for parts. I will move the FM Modulator out of this one and put it in my other Magnavox which is waiting to be recapped. As you can see from the pictures it is identical except it doesn't have the FM Tuner Modulator option installed. Also, it has a near showroom perfect original finish to the cabinet.
My only question now is should I attempt to repaint the face plate to match the gray of my original? When I remove the blank cover I can take it down and compare it to rattle cans to see how close I can come. My thoughts are it will look better if it is the same color as the other face plate. I think that would be true even if the grays don't match exactly but are pretty close. I welcome comments.
Also, I paid to have my Windsor recapped and aligned. I like the guy and his work a lot but I question if I should try to recap this one myself? I have no tools to align it with but I certainly can solder in new capacitors. Again, I welcome any comments anyone might have about this.
Thanks...
Tom
