You had me when you toasted those who serve! Anyway, when you thought it had no capacitors, it has many. Most of which are UNDER the metal tube chassis, as I'm guessing you discovered along with a ton of resistors. And those big silver cans above are also capacitors. That being said, you have a beautiful unit there. Some of the magic you hear is a combination of that big woofer (not a "sub", just a woofer) and those wonderful horns running front-to-back. They make an amazing sound! Enjoy it; you are blessed. I myself would take it apart, make a separate amp, preamp, tuner (NOT a receiver, as you say here: that's a tuner. A receiver is a unit that combines those three), speakers and turntable from that. Most folks don't want a big hulking unit in the living room anymore, more's the pity. If you've restored it and kept it whole, again - you are blessed. Enjoy it! The tube version you have is MUCH more desirable than the solid state transistor units usually found. The sound of your is FAR superior.

Fabulous. The moment you slid open the top and I saw the preamp controls I thought - whoa, you're in for a cracking surprise when you open the back up. Those valve amps sound really stunning - a sound I will remain happy with forever. Have a similar model but without the horns - hope this treasure gives you many years of pleasure.

That is a killer deal. Love to have one. Lucky

That's an Imperial model. From what I understand, they were only sold through specialty outlets and commanded a premium price.

This has tubes in it and they have the best sound. I advise anyone who is into vintage stereo consoles to go with tubes. As they put out the best sound. Solid state is good but not as good as tubes on sound.

Thanks! I just had it recapped and it sounds even better!

Very nice piece 👌🏾

wow that stereo fm sounds amazing

Wow. That sounds great! You could at the very least listen to the radio without doing anything but a cleaning.

Please make more videos on restoring it.

While your " recapping" you might want to ohm out the resistors and check them also.

Your Magnavox is from 1961...a tube set...changer by Collero Co. of England. A mid-range set...sold for $350.

Muchas felicidades, Conectaste un Home Run,Te lo Regalaron,20 USD es un regalo.

I have one similar but don’t know what type of needle to get😞

that needs a pfanstiehl 865ds73 or an ev2622

My cousins had one one with the same components

I just scored i think a 61 for free. Not sure if record works but he did says radio does but hasnt used in years. Only cost was the 60 for the wheels to move it. But hey... it was free.

Semper Fi!

What does the MAH in the Finish section mean? Mine says VRY ( or at least that’s what I think it says). Everything else reads the same ( but the serial number). My model number is 2ST-671. I’m looking for a stylus replacement since mine isn’t working anymore and I just don’t want to chance it and buy the wrong one(duh). I just can’t figure out which stylus I need to buy.

How did you recap it?

The radio has civil defense markings

I bought an astro sonic made in 1965 and replaced all but one transistor on the stereo fm board and all but two on the preamp board

get a new needle for the record player and it should work just fine

that should be 365ds73

I know this is an old video but there's an old saying ain't broke don't fix it the only thing you should do to that unit is clean it get rid of all the Dust clean the wood treated wood and live it well alone clean the contacts make sure the volume controls and all the other controls are nice and clean clean up all the old grease on the turntable put fresh grease on it put it all back together and leave it alone yeah you can turn around and take the tubes out and check him to see if there's a week once cuz this week once will still give you a sound and if there is weak ones you can replace them but if they're still working and is still above the week. Leave them alone if you know somebody who has a tube tester it's very easy to check them but as long as they're above the week area on the tube tester there is a gauge on it app and as long as it in the green the tube is fine and you don't have to replace it I'll leave it alone that's the way I've been preparing these things for years yes you can turn around and check the capacitors for ESR some of them get a high ESR when they get older if they're really high up those are the ones you change and you probably might have some of those old wax covered capacitors in there if they test out okay leave them alone I know there's some people say change them out but if they test out okay and the ESR is okay leave them alone because that's why you're getting such good sound out of the unit some people want you to change them out but the modern-day capacitors in them there are times when you should but if the capacitor is working and doing its job and is no sign of it going bad leave it alone

Have one in better shape
