Picked up a '65 Magnavox AM/FM radio at the flea market

It looks like the chassis is R254-01-BB and there is a Sams number 850 on that number.

BTW, I'm probably going to open this up again and replace those black electrolytics. I've seen several of those crack and open.

You know, not only are tube radios getting harder to find. These solid state sets from the '60's are not as easy to come by as they were just a few years ago and may become the next "collectible" for younger generation radio collectors. Radios of this vintage (both tube and SS) used to be common at places like the Salvation Army and yard sales. Now, you're lucky (at least in my area) to find anything older than an '80's LED clock radio. I did pick up an early '70's cheap plastic Zenith Korean built AM/FM clock radio at the SA for $1. The boss was going to give it to me when I discovered it didn't work; but, I handed him $1 anyway. I cleaned the controls and it plays about as good as any other cheap radio. I'll probably end up giving that one away.
