BILL:: If your Pop's Maggie had PP-Parallel 6L6 in it, and the panel reject button, it was a Windsor.
Also, remember if you can, that the set should have had another button on the panel for a dynamic noise suppressor. The suppressor worked only on the phonograph. The Webster 256 changer that I sent Ron came from a Windsor, and had the trip solenoid in it. Either Ron will remove the solenoid, or just ignore it.
The postwar Magnavox sets that used the P-P parallel 6V6 were the Belvedere and the Regency Symphony, like Ron has. There were other Magnaxox models, of course, like the Chairside, Georgian, and a couple others that slip my mind now. They had a single chassis, with P-P 6V6 output.
Later, the amplifier was carried over with some changes, to the Magnasonic phonographs. Those appeared around 1951....at least, the one i have is about that vintage. If you ever have a chance to latch on to a Magnasonic, it will probably be priced very reasonably, so grab it. They had Collaro changers in them, and the P-P parallel 6V6 amplifier, so they had it all over many other record players.
Around 1954, Philco had a line that was called: Phonorama. You rarely ever see one, but I had one once, in my garage, where I worked on my cars. The cabinet had been damaged, but the 21 inch TV and the record player all worked like a champ. The audio was wonderful. You never seem to hear of those sets.
