b/w magnavox combo
picked up this b/w combo over the weekend . The owner said she bought it in 59 . However she claimed nothing worked anymore . Anyhow even though i have two other projects which i have not finished apart, i put them aside becuase i was a bit curious on this set . It definitly has a problem in amp section becuase the 6ca4 glows red hot. I only had it on a few seconds becuase i notice the tube red hot and a resister started to smoke . Turned it off instintly . Its all tube, the radio, tv, amp and tuner . However it looks to have a lot of miles on it . The black ring on yoke is falling apart, however i believe it can be repaired . The picture was replaced somewhere along the line with a 23fp4a , which has very low emissions after i checked it with my beltron . The tube layout chart says it was originally equipped with a 23mp4 . I have a few new old stock b/w tubes however none of them sub . Anyhow this really seems to be a basket case . I could not find any chassis number on it at all!!!. Just the model number 1mv387n . Usually the chassis number is needed to order a sams . Can anyone chime in and give me a clue on chassis number!!
Are the yoke and Picture tube available ??? Hate to toss it , its a nice set but it looks like a nightmare !!!! Would love to restore it . Any advise would be greatly appreciated .
