Whirlcool: Correct....I do not get any sound at all on the left side. I get full sound on the right side. Thanks for the suggestions. I will try this. | ||

I'd do the following:
Check speaker leads for connectivity. Clean Switches with a product called "DeOxit" available at Radio Shack. Clean them from behind the switch. There should be a little hole in which you can squirt this stuff directly into the pot. If all that fails it could be a bad cap or bad output transistor. This will require more detailed investigation. Do you have the schematics for this unit? | ||

 Phoenix/Peoria area, dramatic ebony finished Danish Modern, would look good in Countryford's living room. Any takers? CLICK HERE TO GO TO 112561's LINK on Craigslist | ||

 After searching several years for a "close" Magnavox Concert Grand I managed to find this one on Craigslist, 975 miles from me in Eugene Oregon. The seller had it orignally listed for $80 with no takers so she cut the price in half. I told her it was really worth a lot more but she wanted it to go to "someone who appreciates it" since it was her parent's and she's in the process of clearing out her late mom's house. She couldn't be nicer to deal with either. She said the stereo has sat in the same spot for decades and looks and sounds like it did in 1959. I found a large company that will wrap and ship it to me for $320 which seems like a bargain since this power-hungry beast is very heavy...40 vacuum tubes between the 4 amplifiers, tuner with multiplex adaptor and the innovative radio-controlled remote. I can't wait until it arrives.

Neat! Has it been in regular use all this time? | ||

I'm not sure how much use it's had in the past few years. Her mom passed away in January, her father a number of years before that. She said it got more use when they both were together. Mary, the owner said she had the radio on and listened to a few LP's and she felt is sounded great, no hum. I just feel so fortunate to get it. I hope it arrives in good condition. I'll have to move my 68 "freebie" console out in the garage since I have limited space. I think the Winsdor, the Concert Grand and the Imperial Armoire are a nice collection of Magnavox stereos...any more than that and they ask you to be on "Hoarders."
