Hello,
I am in search of a Magnavox Stereo Theatre. One from about 1963-1969 or so. I want a color set so I'm guessing I'm going to need to go with an Astro-Sonic model. I may go for a 1962 Imperial but really don't like the ivory color ones. I already have a Stereo in that color that I am dying to get refinished. It is a gorgeous piece of furniture but the finish on it definitely yellows with age. I want something to be able to watch my DVD and VHS tapes on, I'm not sure if it is possible to hook these tv's up to cable, but would be nice. I love the tube models but not sure I want a TV that is just black and white, heck the Astro-Sonic models still sound good! Someone from a Magnavox group told me that his Astro-Sonic Granada model sounds better than other Astro-Sonic models without the TV, probably more wattage and better sound.
I am in PA so I will travel 500 miles away if need be for one. My dad has already been warned that I am looking for one. I know it would be way too expensive to have one of these shipped so I'm willing to borrow my dad's truck and drive. Here are some brochures and ads so you could get an idea of what I'm looking for. I really like the French Provincial model from 1966 or so. I have it pictured here. Not picky on the model though, however I would love to have one with sliding doors so I could close them when not using the tv. I really want one of these so I hope someone can help me out and tell me where I can find one. I've searched major cities in my area such as NYC and Boston, so far a no go.
