1948 Magnavox "Berkeley" Just Acquired!
#11

I know, neither have I, the set actually works really well yet without a recap surprisingly enough.

I have a feeling that this set was not used much by its original owners (possibly it was just a display piece and only used for special occasions.)

the only issue is that the original phono audio jack (which was a 2-pin paxolin style plug) was replaced with a 4-pin paxolin style plug and then plugged into the "FM" jack (which was a 4-pin paxolin socket) which wouldn't work because the record player wouldn't get any power in FM mode unless you powered it off the "Aux Power Socket" on the back which was specifically for the FM Tuner, so I'm on the hunt for a proper 2-pin paxolin style plug to attach to the record player audio output wire so I can get the record player working on it again.
