Got one similar, my parents bought it new for my brother. He loved music. Still got “Meet the Beatles” stereo album, Joan Baez, and others from that era. I was 10 years old when we got it. I’m 68 years old now, still living in the same house. “The Stereo” as we called it, sitting in the same spot. I’ll always have the memory of breaking my little toe on it, catching my toe on it as I ran by it with my brother chasing me. Looking down and seeing it sticking out to the side at a 45 degree angle. 😢 It taught me to never to run barefooted through the house. 😂

My parents had one of these. It sounded great. The needle was a clip in type, shaped like an "L". The base was a little muddled, but it had a natural sound because of the wood. That stem on the record player was removable. You can put in a smaller stem and just put in a round disk for the 45's. The arm was also automatic. It detected the length of the record and placed the tonearm accordingly. Of course a 78 was the same as a 33. So, you'd have to adjust the speed on the speed dial. The stem could maybe hold 3 or 4 records at a time. The radio was good. For FM, the afc setting held the frequencies better, but could not hold weak stations. Afc was necessary to easily jump from station to station. Listening to AM was like listening to old time radio. It had that old movie tone sound quality. When you spun the station dial, it would keep moving because of the heavy weight attached. However, in time, the string (pulley) would weaken and sometimes break. In the old days, almost everyone had one of those felt record cleaners. This type of console was replaced with the TV consoles which sometimes had a record player. I liked consoles because they looked like a piece of furniture. And they were the center of attention in the living room. The speakers were not weak. You can feel the rumbling on the rug (most homes had rugs at that time, it was considered a luxury item). Nowadays, everybody wants hardwood floors. The radio does sometimes go bad. Also, the amplifier on one side might go bad. It was solid state, not tube. Nobody really knew or wanted to fix them if the amplifiers or power supply went bad. The electronics inside was massive and complicated (especially if it was a TV console). But these monster were beautiful. If you can find a working one in good condition, buy it (if you can lift it). I consider $500 very reasonable, if everything is working. If you sat on a rug and listened to these beauties, you'll see what I mean. Because of the way it's designed, you don't experience listening fatigue. It's spatial, yet in one place. The sound is not huge, and you don't know where every instrument is. But the weight of the sound puts it right in front of you. You listen, but don't get tired. They just don't design stereo equipment like these anymore.

A for good reason they don’t anymore. They were not good sound.

I have a 1964 Magnavox console like the one in this video. One exception: The blank area on the left side has an open reel tape recorder/player deck. I can record from the other components in the console or from mikes plugged in on the deck.

[@Greenhornet7718]

That's awesome. That's rare

[@bones007able]

Sorry but you'd be lucky to get $150 for it... these are sitting on curbs all over the US for free, as no one wants them because of their size... I have the model one step above this one with the built in Reel 2 Reel tape deck .... picked it up off the curb on trash day...and it retailed for $1095 in 1967... it's a shame people don't realize the craftsmanship that went into these , they rather live in their throw away society

[@66skate]

You can find them all over the place for $100-200, But all of them will need to be recapped, so don't pay too much. I just bought one for $240, a slightly lesser model than this one. The cabinet is just about perfect, but one channel is out. It's in the shop now for full overhaul and expected to run about $200.

[@Greenhornet7718]

Thank you for your comment. I agree. It also sound pretty good. Not much on the deep end but it does have external speaker jacks

[@pcallas66]

It has some good bottom end. Sounds great. Sounds pretty powerful.

[@Greenhornet7718]

It's pretty cool. I've bought and sold quite a few vintage consoles. This is by far the best I've seen.

"GAG" NAVOX: **BECAUSE IT MAKES ME GAG!!** SOME ASSSCCLOUWN CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF AN AM / FM / RECORD PLAYER STEREO CONSOLE!!!!

[@Greenhornet7718]

These were very popular in USA and almost every household had one. Not just this brand, every electronics manufacturer had several models. It's part of Americana and American history. Plus they look cool. Usually have high end components in them... More like middle grade since high end were usually stand alone components
