In Reply to: RE: Anyone want to take a crack at a 1948 Magnavox FM tuner? posted by R. Mercure on March 23, 2011 at 15:15:30
Priceless, the plot thickens
lower frequency how?
Dial has a 88 to 108 scale labeled "megacycles"
Dial also show "channels" 200 to 300
The tuner is dead. It should at least pick up static or atmoshperic pressure. I at least need to get a signal. my gut tells me David Dye will be playing me some great stuff through it soon. Hopefully. Gonna test them tubes now
Thanks for the info

Henry,
Sorry, faulty memory - can't remember perzactly what year the FM band was moved up but you've got the modern one. When I get a chance I'll provide to frequencies of the old band and when it was moved but you're machine was made really close to the time that it was bumped up.

I refuse to add some stupid bit of trivia here - OOOPS!
My grandparents had this old late 1940's AM/FM/SW console. It had a wonderful tone. I remember looking at the back and seeing many coke bottle tubes. I remember a 6V6G. And a field coil speaker.
That unit still worked in the late 1980's. They unfortunately sold the unit to someone else before asking me.
Good luck with yours!
