I would say this one came out right after Magnavox went to SS. I believe I can read the words Astro-Sonic at the top RH side of the tuner. It's not a deluxe Maggie by any means, probably closer to the bottom of the spectrum. There were two models in the 1964 brochure that look very similar. One priced at $279.00 and the other at $229.00.

I agree. Bill nailed it!
I would add that it apparently is an early Astro-Sonic, witness the small platter on the S-600 changer. Its main claim to fame is that it might yield a perfectly good EV 132 cartridge.

I didn't see the Astro Sonic with my poor eyes, I realize those are SS...
This one I think is not SS, it looks like one Dave posted a while back, but they don't show much.
If tube I might be interested at $35-50 if they'll come down, I'll let it be for now, what amp would this have?

I believe that might be a 1ST212. It is a 1959 or '60 model. It has a Conquest changer. Maybe an AMP-196? For sure it's tube. There is a leg broken off the cabinet. Looks like a parts set or an ambitious restoration to me.

I'll keep my eyes on this one, it's local.
With a broken leg they're being a bit optimistic imo.
