Obtained this picture with only a jumper wire used as an antenna. Didn't have to adjust anything other than the fine tuner. Was pretty much plug-and-play.

Here's a shot of the inside. It seems that other than the possible crt replacement, this chassis has been untouched.

I wish I could think of something better to say than: "WOW, that's beautiful."

How about "SUMBITCH, that's beautiful!"
Yow. How much does that sucker weigh? Anyone know what style of cabinet that would be considered? I don't think I've ever seen anything close. Charles, is that little thingie at the bottom of the left speaker the room light sensor or a pilot light? I remember a set one of my aunts had that had a little red pilot light at the bottom with a gold ring around it. She jokingly told me it was a button and I spent a lot of time trying to push it to see what it did! Which was fine, as long as I was quiet about it. Life came to a sudden stop when Aunt Patsy was watching her "stories"; no visitors, no phonecalls, no deliveries, nothing. As soon as they were over, everything started back up again. Man, I think I need to go away for a while! You come back from sea and there's a Magnavox combo practically on your doorstep. Polaraman comes back from the ETF convention and there's a Motorola combo literally on his doorstep! Who's next? veg

The little circle you see on the left is the sensor for controlling the brightness. I've been digging thru some Sams trying to find the correct one, and found several maggies using this. They call it a "light dependent resistor" in the parts list.
There is a red pilot light on the right hand side, but not noticable in the photo. I did find another number on a tiny little sticker saying U36023-33. I found a Sams for U36-02-00 in 591-2 (dated 1962) and it's damn near the same as this chassis. Some of the tubes are different, and it only gives a listing for 19 and 23 inch tubes... mine has a 24 inch. Checked some of the part numbers... such as the power transformer... it was a match. It seems that my chassis is a variation of the one in Sams. Still gonna dig around some more and see if I can find a better match. As far as the cabinet style, there have been a couple of Maggie color combos on AK that have a similar cabinet. This one is all hardwood and veneers... no fake stuff. And yes, this thing is heavy!
