64 Maggie roundie
 

64 Magnavox color roundie with the sylvania rare earth phosphor estate sale find. I can't believe how far the clover leaf was off when i popped off the back. Just did a quick static convergence and greyscale-purity adjustment. Good daily driver. Does anyone else have a Maggie in their collection?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3dde477111.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a214b2d736.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...99429e3c9d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3ab5bace59.jpg

Nice clean image and the cabinet appears to be in great condition. Just a smidge of cataract. You did good.

Elegant!

Nice picture.

Can you find a label that verifies it's a rare earth tube? Green face usually is sulfide.

Very nice jug & pix. I could watch it all day.

I have an AX with a silverish face like a rare earth. I can’t imagine they were still being made into the rare earth era, though.

I have basically the same set only with remote, instruction manual, and until I accidentally cracked it a glass top. Snagged at the fall ETF.

I think you had this set on one of the TV groups on Facebook before unless there's 3 of these sets floating around.

I have a T-933 square tube that is a good performer. It is my avatar. I like the Magnavox tube sets. Yours looks great! I had news on it this morning!

I had a stereo theatre set. What a great picture your set produces. In spite of what a lot of people say, Magnavox tube sets had great color rendition.

I think the prefix RE is rare earth phosphor at least that's what i was told https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d4b17bd289.jpg

Here's a discussion on the antique radio forum indicating that RE does indeed mean rare earth.

I have to give up my idea that you could tell the sulfide tubes by face color. The sulfide green (at times with a little cadmium to make it even yellower) had a yellowish body color, and the cadmium/sulfide red had an orange body color, making the face color quite green over all. I thought the rare earth reds had a white body color, which may be true, so ​perhaps the face color is mainly due to the green phosphor here (?).

Can you take a magnifying glass to the screen and see what color the dots are when off?

The first chassis they made themselves, an RCA clone.
In spite of all the dust, it must be a low hours set. A lot of original tubes. Great picture!
Magnavox was always known for the fine quality cabinets and sound!

What a nice set! Could do with a good clean though. Looks free of nicotine too.

Beautiful Set. Back when we had great electronics.

Wasn’t every non-Zenith set back then mostly RCA clones, or close to it?
