My new Florida toy-Maggie CG
#7

Here's a link to my new photobucket file with pictures I took yesterday after the seller delivered it to me. I have confirmed it is indeed a 1958 300H CG. It actually has a double model tag glued on top of another one that was all smeared and the top one is smeared with that old smelly clear glue with the brush in the bottle.

Tube layouts are still inside and I counted 35 total: 12 in the amp, 7 in the reel to reel, 5 in the small ? chassis and 11 in the main chassis.
Condition is very nice but real dusty/dirty. Bought some goop today and hope to give it a good cleaning this weekend if I get a burst of energy. It was $300 + $50 delivery. (24 miles). Seller is a known Architectural Engineer and it was his grandparents when new in Miami. There is a small clock built into the RP compartment to turn on the radio/Reel to Reel to record shows.
3 glass panels on top nice and 3 more in the front. One horn is disconnected but the wires are all there. It appears all the speakers / horns plug into the RtoR chassis. I thought that was a bit odd. Only has 8 output tubes on a single bi-amp chassis. Later CG's like my 1961 one have 2 of these amps and 100 watts output. This one is only 40 watts.

Any questions, feel free to ask or PM me. Since I already have one of these I may sell this for just what I have in it. I just bought it to save it and it was local to me in the Tampa area. These are very rare and sought after.
