1957 Maggie 294H
Everyone: love your Maggies and the info. I'd like to share mine(from Craigslist) and ask if anyone has this, can verify if it is a 1957 or 1958, as I can't read the stamped ink on the inside cabinet divider. Here's some info and photos.
Model 294H (no indications of being stereo, so mono)
AMP-142CC
Tuner CR745BB
Looks like solid cherry
Record player works, but erratic(needs cleaning and lube)
No radio (did work intermittently on one or two AM stations only, but now just a hum and eventually a highpitch whine, very quiet after warmup).
Tuning eye looks frozen in one position - doesn't function, but just lights up
Does anyone have any brochure info to verify a date and any other info? I understand that I will need to replace caps, resistors, and check tubes(?). It's a beauty, 15" and 12" speakers, and two smaller 5 " (?) ..haven't measured them. I see a plug with no tube on far left of amp -says it's a Phono Motor - any idea if that should/shouldn't be empty? Also-I see places on the back of the receiver where something could be plugged in (left and right side) and a plug that looks like a house plug..surely not...but any idea what its function was designed to do and isn't used in this model?
Thanks for any feedback and again, love all your Maggies.
