Hey all.
Wondering if Magnavox made tubes or if someone else did and Magnavox put thier own name on them? RCA, Ge, Phillips etc...?
This unit ( a Magnavox counole ie; am fm radio & record player) was made in the '60's and has all the original tubes (6v6's and 12ax7's) 12" speakers and tweeter.
Wish I knew who had made the speakers as well.
It all still works and sounds great.
Just wondering if I can make a guitar amp out of it.

Anyone out there know about such things Magnavox?

Thanks

Why save tubes and not enjoy them? Why save the speakers? Geez, life is too short. :JAM

If I can...I'd like to build a small amp out of the parts. Including the tubes.:AOK
The output trannies are HUGE in this thing!
I wonder if this is a good thing?

I'll get some pics of these tubes and see if you folks can identify them. Thanks for 6he help folks.
