What did you use to clean the chassis of your Magnavox? Looks good...

I've seen a set like yours before, on eBay. Unusual cabinet. Yeah, I was wondering if you had the phono drawer, since your photos did not show it.

Edit: I have a set of IF transformers pulled from a Maggie chassis like mine (CR-188A). If you need IFs, and if these will work in your set, they're yours for the postage.

Yes, Ron. I do have the drawer. I will also have to re finnish the front of that. The lacquer is flaking off.
I think on parts like that I'll give it a light sanding, and, re lacquer it. Should be fairly simple.
