William, IDK so strange, I watch a lot of these auctions and this should have been gone long ago. 13 weeks now.

Re: 59 magnavox Imperial Concord CA FBM $200
Hi Mogul, I know bad math. Stereo seems like two but in this case three. Its because of the selector switch in the imperials and concert grands . in this case it would be switch position B.

Re: 59 magnavox Imperial Concord CA FBM $200
Hi William , Here is Seans console just like the one advertised. They put the AMP 182 (30 watts) off to one side, but wouldn't the wiring been cleaner if it was on the other side?

Re: 59 CG in ebony Arizona
It looks to me to be a original Ebony unit because the rear and inside are black from when they built it. It has the remote chassis, So it's a 59 or 60? it still has the magic eye. My ebony continental looked dull like that until I cleaned it really well and polished it. The top glass is gone which ...

Re: Soldering 2 wires together !!!!
Hello guys. so in my defense its been forever since I soldered something, Here were the issues. I ended up taking a file to the tip and then I went and got the rest of the supplies and put the tip in the flux while it was hot and then put a nice smooth coating of solder onto the tip. I guess it's ca...

Re: Microscope for electronics
Hello Guys I received the .75 Barlow lens today and installed it on the microscope. It seems to be the perfect magnification 3.5 x 45 now. It should give a lot of hours of fun.

Re: Building a completely new system
Hello, yes that's exactly what I am saying. An example was when the the eye tube in the old chassis of the ebony continental was fluctuating you guys immediately nailed it as a B+ issue and it was determined to fix it before damage was done. That was a newly recapped amp and 5401 preamp ! I think I ...

Building a completely new system
Hello guys, I have sent my stuff out to several different people to be worked on, And I have realized that each one has fixed them just enough to get working. They dont stay working long !

Re: CG left channel out
Hello Guys, I just received a video of the CG repaired. I am super happy about it. He said there were multiple repairs done that he had to reverse engineer. I will be heading down that way to pick it up soon (few weeks). Then I have to put it back together.

Re: Mend it Mark video
I watch Mend it mark, every episode! I watched the episode and was one of the people that saw it before it was struck down. I was thinking it was a funny way to build an amp. The fact that the manufacturer had it struck down only made things worse for him as I thought Mark gave him a LOT of leeway o...
