How to find year of my magnavox stereo console

[oldstuff1]

Hello new to forum, I was trying to see if I could find help on finding the year of my Magnavox Imperial Micromatic stereophonic, trying to find a needle for the record player. Any help thank you.

model or serial number anywhere on the unit?

Model#1st6640s
Serial# 1186987

and what do you get when you feed that into the matrix?
I'll stab in dark n say that 87 at the end is a date

Looks you've been at this search for years . . .  when I entered the info into the Matrix, your query from 2021 popped up as the only info.

The place to go used to be Needle in a Haystack. But they are gone. I might try this place:

Maybe checkout the info on the backs of pots, and/or possibly transformer codes.
