My very first stereo console I bought(getting feetwet in collecting)was a 1962_4 RCA tubed model) and I still have another tubed model that has two doors that open to reveal tuner, TT, and speakers. It sounds very nice, though there's no speaker isolation. I'm less familiar with some of the newer SS models. I was just saying..more photos would be fun, but no biggie. I Love these old stereo consoles probably for the woodworking as much as the given expression of sound.

Roger - I found that out after I took a Magnavox 6710 before really examining the lower area which was all plastic! ARGGH! How low they went to cheapen the product? They should have just stopped making quality and moved on to separates EXCLUSIVELY instead of cheapening the stereo consoles. What I hated finding out was, not only did the wheels get removed but the plastic inserts were all cracked plastic -nearly disintegrating. The receiver I took out had tabs that held it in place - all but two broke because as the plastic aged, it just became birittle. FAIR warning to restorers willing to tackle early to mid 70'S Magnavox stereo consoles. (not the astro- sonics, perhaps)...PLASTIC abounds and it will be brittle. (most don't bother with these, but it was a $500 stereo console in 1974...not so bad and sounds decent..but ugh! PLASTIC!
