The wood flooring on the display risers is done. Paint on the walls is being touched up. The concrete floors have been stained and are awaiting their big reveal.

Over 50 units (televisions, radios, and other) have been moved from storage to our archives. Most of these have already been cleaned and some will be evaluated for technical repairs.

We are getting closer and can't wait to share it with you!

Work is progressing on the new Magnavox Showcase being built at 113 Depot Street in Greeneville. Staging for record players and television is getting its flooring. New spotlights are working and the location is really coming together.

We really need the help of the community in making this project complete. We need you to become a Patron Supporter. This means donating an annual amount of money. You will receive our quarterly newsletter.

Or, if you would like to donate an amount in honor or memory of a friend or family member worked at Magnavox or Philips, we would welcome the help. The employee’s name will be placed in the Employee Recognition section of the Showcase.

We also would welcome any former Magnavox employee to volunteer and help clean and organize artifacts such as radios, record players, and television. For more information on making a Donation and/or Volunteering call 423-525-0240 or email [email protected]

Help recognize the history of Magnavox in East Tennessee and the people who produced quality products.
