That looks exactly like my neighbor's Maggie across the street from me. Hers plays pretty good and is in excellent condition. Only uses it when her cable TV goes out on her big screen color set. If I remember right, the stereo is solid state and tv is tubes. I told her if she ever decides to get rid of it, I want it. She claims that she cant get rid of it because then she would have no place to put her two dozen family pictures!

She is 92 years old, and holds on to everything. She even has one of those Hoffman "Solar" AM transistor radios that looks like brand new. Cant get a mercury battery for it anymore, so we found an old style camera flash battery that would work in it. Also plays good with the solar panels. She told me she paid $75 dollars for it in 1958.
