- BEST VIEWED AT 720p This catalog came along with my mom's 1959 Magnavox Imperial pictured at the end with a photo of me playing it while still in high school. I decided to share this catalog showing how Magnavox advertised their stereos to their customers in 1959 with all the information about their stereos. I thought this might be interesting to all the vintage Magnavox collectors. I uploaded it as sharp as I could get it so the pages could be read when paused. The photo at the end shows my mom's Magnavox and how nice the finished changed color due to age. The top right with me plalying records was when it was newer,and had a light grayish color called light Danish walnut, something new for the late 50's early1960's. the 2nd on the right was in the 1970's just a little darker, and the larger is a recent photo much darker than when new. The darker color actually is rich looking, and matches the radio bezel, and cloth even better. The two right photos show the cloth lighter than the finish, the last photo on the left shows the cloth now about the same color as the finish. It still plays as good as new. MAGNAOV INTRODUCED 1ST DYNAMIC SPEAKER The modern design of moving-coil (also called dynamic) drivers was established by Oliver Lodge in 1898.[2] The first practical application of moving-coil loudspeakers was established by Peter L. Jensen and Edwin Pridham, in Napa, California. Jensen was denied patents. Being unsuccessful in selling their product to telephone companies, in 1915 they changed strategy to public address, and named their product Magnavox. Jensen was, for years after the invention of the loudspeaker, a part owner of The Magnavox Company.[3]
Funny, judging from your picture I thought it was me standing there. I have a picture of myself playing mom's 1970 Magnavox Consolette with Pecan finish. I used a 1962 Motorola 3-channel in my bedroom, but I loved the Micro-matic and foam suspended speakers of her stereo. That would have been around the mid 80s.
@HD7100 Hi Gary In mentioning your Magnavox horn, made me think how Magnavox introduced the 1st Dynamic loudspleaker. I added the info to the more information box. Magnavox made speakers for Wurlitzer organs, jukeboxes, and other companies.
imperial was the king of stereos !!!by the mid 70s most console units were just particle board plastic junk
Assisti mais uma vez o vídeo. Belas imagens! Rio de Janeiro Brasil
@jefferyb304 HI No I haven't but I will sure check it out Thanks
I saw my Riviera, my Saratoga, and the Stratford is nearly identical to my '59 with the round cutouts on the sides, my cats totalled the set. I have the Belvedere in twin cabinets too. This is the most impressive Magnavox video to date, thanks for posting it! The music was perfect for the style and class of The Magnificent Magnavox too!
Magnavox was always noted for good quality audio starting way back in the early 1920s with their electro-dynamic horn speakers made in Oakland California. I have one but have not yet powered it.
@64098 I have two Imperials as pictured at the beginning, my mom's and another I found years later. I have another 1962 console posted playing Dansero. I have a couple of older Magnavoxes including the Windsor, whcih I found last summer. I had the small Aristocrat many years ago. I can relate very well to the cats, as I have rescue cats inside and out, they haven't damaged any stereos , but I can't say the same for the couch.
I've always hoped to run across a concert grand but haven;t seen any around for many years. I have 3 Imperials, two Danish modern ones, one of which my mom bought new in 1959, the other I found in the late 80's. I just recently found or should say rescued a colonial imperial about a month ago. I've still got more work to do on it. I personally think the concert grand you have was the finest Magnavox ever made. Don't know the song title. It is filed as just 60's background music.
What a find that was those seldom come up for sale. I've seen on rare occasion the remote controls on ebay. I don't have a concert grand console ,just one concert grand amp, but I do have 3 1959 Imperials, two Danish modern and one colonial both are on youtube, the colonial model is also in need of re-capping.
Catálogo fantástico. Os aparelhos tinham presença, os de hoje são uma porcaria, mal você adquire e eles estraga são descartáveis! Rio de Janeiro RJ Brasil
Os aparelhos Magnavox eram fantásticos. Abraço! Rio RJ Brazil

Forte Abraço
Maynard, that was great I had to add this to my favorites.. I have a 1960 magmatic console stereo, thanks for making this great video
YAY!!! Just so fabulous MaynardCat!!! Straight to favorites!
This was really a cool look-back on the Magnavox stereos. Thanks.
have the 1948 Windsor model
I have a 59 Imperial cabinet with a converted 185 to a 175 amp with the 55 tuner. Even a 20 watt tube unit is loud. The previous owner sold the original amp,tuner, and speakers. Purchased newer 15" and horns off ebay.
My ultimate stereo goal is to own a real nice Concert Grand. I have 5 consoles, 3 are Maggies.
I have two 1959 Danish modern, and one 1959 traditional styled Imperial. They are posted playing on youtube.
That was great!! I loved it!!
Oh, be still my trembling heart...

+Larry Shaver It's not Nelson Riddle, I just found it some time back listed as 1960's background music.
+maynate that likrdcat nelson did some stuff in the early 70's that sounded a lot like that
+Larry Shaver Yes he did, and I do like Nelson Riddle. I have only a couple of Nelson Riddle videos uploaded. ruclips.net/video/PaIipkrNU9A/видео.html
