I got the Magnavox today! 8 tube AM/FM radio plus an eye tube (bright), the amp has two 5Y3 rectifiers and four 6V6's plus a driver tube I haven't pulled yet. AM is strong, FM not so much but working. The turntable is a nice mech and needs some work. The phono section has equalization: RIAA,LP,FFRR and 78- cool! The radio says Magnificent Magnavox on the front.

So I plug a portable CD player into the aux in and it cranks! Still has Magnavox branded tubes and they are all good. I got it for $100....new toy O-A-O!

Mono and the FM is fine it is the selector switch that needs cleaning as do the bass and treble pots.
