Title: Looking for old Magnavox speaker
Post by: Dicky on March 22, 2014, 12:44:39 AM

Good Morning.  My most recent Magnavox console score has a bad 15" woofer.  If anyone has one laying around from a recent pull let me know, otherwise the beautiful thing will be gutted and... well you know the rest.  See the pics for more info.  I would like to save it though as it is one of the nicer ones from 1962. 

Thanks,

Dicky

How funny.   I pulled a pair and one was bad.   I said to myself "I should keep this just in case".   I hope to make it up to the shop tonight to test some tubes.   Should I drop it off there or do you want to come get it?

Depends where you are, but I can definitely make it to the shop later.  Need any more tubes?

I live in Penn Hills.   As far as needing tubes, I'll know more about that tonight.

So I guess I don't need to create a wanted post in the Magnavoxfriends Yahoo! group.  :)

I think I joined that magnavox group last night.  Probably don't need to post as I had a great turnout here.  Thanks again all!

Dicky, I expect to be there 6-ish.   I don't do the late night thing like some folks.

I may be able to put those to use if Dicky doesn't want them.   I have a few more horn pulls than I do ALNICO woofer pulls.

Google gave me nothing.   I assume they are old ALNICOs, yes?

I have a 12" Maggy pull if anyone wants it.

Just one, or a pair?

Title: Re: Looking for old Magnavox speaker

I have no need for the 12's, but could transport them to the shop tonight if need be.

I'll see you there a little after 6, did you work something out with ESM?

Post by: Sir Thrift-a-Lot on March 22, 2014, 05:05:38 PM

I don't know.   Do you need them.   Seems to me you get first shot.   I'm just offering myself as the alternative to throwing them in the dumpster.

Title: Re: Looking for old Magnavox speaker
Post by: Dicky on March 22, 2014, 05:10:22 PM

I don't need them.

Thanks again to Sir Thrift a Lot.  The speaker sounds great, the console is saved.  Now to install an ipod jack with the connector I forgot to buy tonight.
