Hey Nate - I couldn't $150 in this set, with the tv not working and the style being outside my tastes. I remember when that style was pretty common...and even then, I didn't care for it either. Not to splash personal taste over it all - it's harder to find these sets - especially intact and working.
Not to turn this into a "show and tell", do you have a former thread to mention, showing your set or...any photo. $90 was good. |

Nice black & white combo with a tasteful contemporary cabinet. I like the glass over the screen and lighted channel selector. Micromatic "fishhook" changer. Not free at $200 but not outrageous either.

Here's mine... Needs an amp and tv recap. It will happen eventually. I've been working on my 1965 Zenith recently...

Sensory overload! I love the Danish modern, contemporary and the American modern looks like it might be nice, as well.
I love your set, Will - excellent styling. It also reminds me of my parent's Zenith, but it's not as "horsey" or huge as it was. It has a nice scale..and the wood is beautiful (what is it, cherry?). I like that you have the flat screen above and then can watch classic tube as well...the way to go! Every time I see these tv stereo console threads, I start searching for these consoles around CL for something I would like..and there's not much that sits well with me. I think your Magnavox is one of my favorites, though. Phil |

Thanks Phil. It is indeed cherry. With 90% certainty, it belonged to a lady I delivered meals on wheels to. It showed up shortly after she passed at a local thrift and it is the same cabinet. :). I love it, and got rid of my working 1962 Philco console to keep it. :). I look forward to getting the amp and tv recapped, so I can use it more.
Since we are on consoles. Here's my 1965 Zenith I've been working on (TOL). The turntable still stumps me, but the stereo is playing great. This post was last edited 07/15/2014 at 14:18 |

sorry , you asked for it! lol. Other people are equally in good taste. It's their taste. I just happen to like what you like. I've seen some other stuff here on aw.org that is over-the-top beautiful in electronics. Thank you for sharing and if you were anywhere nearby, I'd be knocking on your door like a kid, "Hi Mr. Will it's Mr. Phil ...can I see your tv's? " (grin)

I like that little Quasar clicker. I had a small Motorola B&W set years ago that had a one-button remote that only changed channels. When you put the set on an inactive station the TV would turn off after a few seconds. It was helpful if you fell asleep late at night since most stations stopped broadcasting after the late, late show or the chiller diller movie...just something from the old days, kids.

My only other set is this 1958 Fischer Consolette. It's mono, it looks like a speaker, but it sure sounds great!

Will, my dad has that exact same Zenith model. What's up with your turntable? |
