I saw this cool looking Magnavox,when Magnavox meant something! I liked the Tube stuff Magnavox built years ago before they were bought out!I am not trying to help sell this I just thought some folks here might have heard or seen one of these years ago?

Thank's Mike as I really enjoyed looking @ & reading about all those Capeharts!
A friend had one of these: "The Capehart 500 - The "Painted Gypsy Funeral Wagon"; Gaudy was not the word! The mid-range amp (It was tri-amped!) was not working but he would not let me rebuild it, darn it. I have no idea what happened to it after he died; for all that I know, it could be the one on the site. I had a much later Capehart, probably from after 1948 or so as it had the FM band on it. Ah well, I sold it as I needed the money and I definitely do NOT miss it.

I have a similar Mag Mag. Separate amp chassis and the phono has 4 EQ positions. 2-12" and a horn. Mine is from 1956. They are cool!

I'll bet it does not sound bad either!
It sounds excellent. I am going to take out the Callero ceramic phono and put in a Garrard Lab 80 I just got. I'll need to add a mag phono preamp and then sum the outputs to mono to go into the Mag Mags phono input. I love playing with this old stuff. See link for pics of mine.

They were sold long after the tube era in about '76 -'77. Philips bought them. The Philips rebadged Magnavox sold as the Laboratory Series was some seriojs stuff and could kick sand in any of the competition. Sadly, Philips also held the rights to the Marantz name in N.A. and that spelt the end of the Magnavox engineering group that actually was better than Marantz's.

I agree with your opinion of the quality of the engineering groups.
That is sad!I knew it was sometime in the 70's though!
