Replace tubes in the 1959 Magnavox

I replaced all 4 of the 6v6gt tubes. 1 tested really weak, and the other 3 marginal. The 7025 tested good on 1 triode, and really weak on the other, so I replaced it too. Sounds quite a bit clearer now. First part is the old tubes, and second part the new tubes. They are nos tubes, and all tested good on my tester. Song: I'm Not The One by The Cars.

Sound great!

If I mentioned this in you other vids, I finally restored my '59 Maggie, but there still a problem. I has a buzzing sound in the background and get worst when I put it through the change cycle. I have no idea what it is. It was recapped and all the connections are good too.

Do you have a vid of it working?

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

No, but when I had my old account "Damusician" I had a vid of it unrestored. Retrochad has the same model as mines, but he replaced the Collaro Conquest changer with a late 60's Magnavox Micromatic. Mines is from 1958 not 1959.

Oh yeah I remember watching it on your old account. Doesn't it have the same grill cloth as mine? I've seen retrochad's Maggie too. I think it's on my favorites.

I'm planning on doing so to get some help! As I said, it has a buzzing issue.

[dynatrak]

Awesome. I vote for a demo on your 58 Magnavox cube!

Guess wut? Today I finally got the standard edition of the "Shake it Up" Lp with the red label not the white one like the promo copy I already have. Neither is mint, but they're playable. I also have the album on cassette too.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Yes it does!

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

I have that one too, but mines is a promo copy.

Thanks! It's from the Shake it Up Album.

Thanks. It will rattle the pictures on the wall again!
