I'm glad I stripped it. It's toast. Interesting. The mannufacture date was Aug., 2005. Shows the quality of this carp....
I love Magnavox. My 1946 Maggy is only a 30 watt, no seperate chassis. But, it performs very well, with deep, resonnent bass. But, the Pilot, "OH, you kid!". My pilot is portable. Yeh, sure, right! It weighs a ton! Black case. Leather carry handle. Plastic grill in front. To keep the woofer magnet from interfering, they placed an aluminum tube shield over one of the 6V6 tubes, which is right next to the speaker. Alot of caps in this set. When I find the pictures, I'll post the restoration of it for you. Bill Cahill

Yeah.My Maggie suitcase w/detachable speakers is supposed to be portable. It's portable alright. Heavy as lead and it has a nice sound to it and good bass response. No tubes though,all solid state since it's from the mid 60s.
I'd love to see the pictures of your Pilot restoration. My Maggie suitcase basically worked as is and havent done a thing except replace the needle.I had to clean out all the old grease and relube my 1960 console Imperial changer but this Micromatic from the mid 60s just worked.No idler slippage, no problems with the change cycle.I haven't used it for a while and it's in the closet but I bet if I dug it out it would still work fine.

Phooey! They aren't in this computer. I'll have to look for them in old one.
Sorry. I'll get them as soon as I can. Bill Cahill
