1948 Magnavox "Berkeley" Just Acquired!
#5

I got the radio chassis out, the two phillips bit screws on the back of the top side of the chassis had to be removed and then the chassis slid out through the back.  Icon_thumbup Icon_biggrin

The chassis is all original yet, nothing has been changed on it (all original caps and resistors and tubes) and not a spot of rust or corrosion on the chassis anywhere.

The only visible chage/alteration I could see made to the unit was that someone changed out the original record player output plug at some point in time but that's pretty minor in the overall scheme of things. 

I'd love to find an FM tuner Sub-chassis for this radio if at all possible.

See picture below for the radio chassis underside.
