I would sincerely appreciate any help identifying any of the following on the Magnavox console that I am trying to glow up: Year and Model of console (I...
The model number won't help with finding service information for Magnavox - you'll need the chassis numbers, which will be on on the amplifier and tuner chassis (sometimes combined into one).
Magnavox service information usually goes by the numbers stamped on the chassis because they used the same electronics in many different cabinets. These sets were the last of the 78-rpm only phonographs.
The Magnavox AMP-185 is very easy to work on; at this point replacing the caps in it should not be very difficult or expensive. Back to the original problem with the changer: I can think of only two possibilities.

Lookee here what I found! This old Magnavox speaker in really good shape. I haven't yet learned about this vintage type equipment, so I don't know anything...
The huge Magnavox bi-amp has two 6V6 outputs for each bass channel, and a single 6V6 for each treble horn. The way these are designed, there is no need for crossover capacitors between the speakers.
Magnavox stopped using the Astrosonic nomenclature around 1970 or so; after which the "Micromatic" badged turntables made by Collaro were around until about 1972. Collaros continued pretty much up until the end but the Magnavox consoles went sharply downhill after Philips bought the company in 1974.
The transformer is a Magnavox part number 300071-1. The specs are primary- 117V @1.26A, secondary- 574VCT @190ma, 5V @4A, 6.3V @ 4.64A. I looked on oldradioparts.com and I didn't have much luck. There are two that are close, but the 5V and 6.3 amps are lower than the specs. I'm getting a few price quotes to have it rewound.
