I have had my hands in a few Magnavox Color TVs of that Vintage. The chassis tag will identify the series such as T933, U924, etc. Much of this TV's circuits resemble RCA with a few wacky things that only Magnavox did based on their audio systems design. i.e. 6BA6 AFC tube, 12AX7 pincushion amp

Almost all the Magnavox TVS made through early 70s, before their better solid state chassis TV sets, can be a "problem child" in some areas such as the luminance-video and CRT drive circuits, but not anything you can't get answered here. Its just solder joints, dirty pots and out of tolerance parts just like it is on Mag tubed HiFi consoles.

That is a worthwhile project mainly because you have an all-new RCA Hi-lite CRT and you also have a higher-end solid state Astrosonic receiver with the typical well-matched speakers.

Simple advice: Work on and finish the stereo receiver first, then that good record changer and finally, put on some records --- fixing that TV will go easier and you will not be tempted to give up.
