1958 Magnavox Stereorama Dial glass

[Hydrolastic]

Hello I am in need of a dial glass or possibly a complete preamp chassis for a 58 Magnavox. it was dropped and needs to be repaired. Hydro http://classichificare.com/viewtopic.ph ... a82b9a6379

Hello, The dial glass would have part number D150534 in the right hand lower corner so if you have an old chassis lying around and the unit was a horizontal one its probably the same glass.

There are several Magnavox consoles on ebay. I was there looking for your dial glass. Sorry, no dice this evening, but I'll keep looking. They come up there frequently.

In the way of a suggestion, you might contact this seller and find out if he has the dial glass.

Thanks Greg. I did just that and a couple of others nothing yet. I know something will turn up i am also going to stay on it as the Imperial needs one also but the imperials one was already cracked.

[electra225]

Yeah, just keep your eyes open. I will as well. My Imperial really needs a bezel, but I have given up on that and figure a busted bezel is part of its personality. Good luck..

Here you go, Hydro! Hope you can score this.....

I need to find one like this (pic) with holes for 6 knobs on the R side and smaller holes for 8 buttons on the L side.

Hydro told me that he acquired one, but I'm not sure if it was this one.

[electra225]

Thank you. Charles, for the heads-up. Good to hear he got one.

[Hydrolastic]

Thank you! I didn't get this one but i did get this, https://www.ebay.com/itm/353639146357 i had the continental facia plate so it came with a set of the trim pieces i can use on the continental. I will get the whole tuner to Sam as i think the tuner wheel was damaged when dropped and the string was already broken when i brought it down there. Thanks again. Hydro

[electra225]

You bet. I'm glad you got what you needed.

My mid-1960 Magnavox Symphony has that same tuner, now 57-03 chassis, similar cabinet to your avatar. I did not see a date code on the Ebay listing photo. If you are using that tuner instead of a dial glass transplant, make sure to DeOxit those tuning capacitor shaft "fingers" and exercising end to end, before putting it back in. Mine is touchy still and must have had some stubborn corrosion where the brass shaft touches the copper commutator part.

I have a SPARE tuner with vertical-oriented dial AND three-tube mpx adapter from a scrapped-out 62 Theatre, so that would be an upgrade for my 1960 model.
While I believe these Magnavox "200 series" tuners are superior to older tuner chassis, the non-linear tuning scale is a pain for accessing FM below 92 mc, most of what I listen to locally.
