What is a Stereo Theater?

This is not a TV forum, per se. Stereo Theaters, Home Theaters and other three-in-one combination console instruments contain a TV chassis. We can discuss them here, along with stand-alone TV set issues you may care to share.

What is a Stereo Theater?

Post: # 594Post Hydrolastic »

I see this craigslist ad for a magnavox tv with a phonograph and am fm tuner but not sure of what i am looking at. Were there various models of tv not stereo theaters? does the inclusion of the turntable and radio make it one? Hydro https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/fuo/d ... 62288.html

The link you provided shows a Magnavox Stereo Theater. And it appears to have remote control. I'm guessing a 300 series instrument, circa 1962. Probably a 24" picture tube and a 93 series amp. The modern cabinet is s plus. Magnavox called their three-in-one units Stereo Theater. RCA called theirs Home Theater.
A good leader is someone who can tell you where to go, and make you look forward to the trip.

Never allow someone who has done nothing to advise you on anything.
