Good looking set! I'll bet it made someone the talk of the town when it was first delivered.

I'm jealous. I'm also still looking.

Bill, your a better man than me. I gave up on TV repair back in the early 60s after working on a production line to fix the ones that didn't work. Warwick electronics in Southern California. Best to you. Nice looking combo set.

Thanks. I was hoping to show pics of Admiral as well, but, he had already deleted them. Oh, well. In a little more than a month, I'll have them both.
Shipper asked me how manny sets I own. I told him 45. His reply was "I would keep calling it insanity.".

Again, Images won't copy. Shoot. But, here is link to Admial picures.

Really nice!

I've got a question. Does that Admiral really look like a 12" to you? Tim says it is, but, it really looks like 10" to me.....

I would use the turntable for scale and estimate it to be ten inches. If that is the case, I would guess the screen is twelve inches.

The Admiral that I have is a couple years newer than yours.  It is going to a friend in Texas. It is packed in the trailer, and I can't remember the model number.  I would guess it is a couple years newer than yours.  It has a rectangular screen.  I paid $30 for it, to save it from the dump.  I want an RCA or a Magnavox with a good cabinet.  I look forward to following the progress on yours.

Today I started working in earnest to get ready for arrival of tv's. I have been cleanning, music room, and, moving things around, and, in better order.. Soon I will be moving my small upright Victor Orthophonic victrola into the music roof for display. Move a few more things against that wall, and, I'll have room for the Admiral. Then, I'll do more moving, etc., to make room for the Bendix tv. Things are slowly coming along. I'll be ready when they arrive. I'm really looking forward to receiving them.

Oh. On the tube. Tim found a factory stanmping on the chassis that reads "This chassis was wired only to use 12JP4 picture tube."
And, the schematic shows that two models used that tube. Mine, of course, is one of them....
Very interesting.  OH, that's on the Admiral, of course..........

Tim says shipper is picking sets up on Thursday.
I can hardly wait..............

Awesome!

Talked to Tim today. He said the tv's were picked up late this morning. I won't get them until late next month, though.... Wish me good luck, guys..........

Just as long as they arrive safe and sound (and vision). It'll give you somrthing good to look forward to.

.......and be sure we get "blow to blow" commentary and maybe even pictures. A tv is on my bucket list to do, so my interest is piqued. Good luck with your new toys, Bill.

That's a pretty cool looking cabinet!

Whitch one?? I like them both....

Good luck...I am going to need a new challenge sooner or later and try to relearn TV.

Your pictures aren't labeled so it's hard for me to know what I'm looking at.  I could pretty much guess the Admiral with the oriental cabinet:



Not sure about the Bendix or what this picture is coming from:

It's a good thing that set's cabinet wasn't repurposed into some regrettable piece of make do cabinetry.

NO. The picture of the Chinese cabinet is the ADmiral I'm getting. The other one is an older one of my Bakelielite console Adrmiral while it was still playing on the bench.
How did you get the pictures? I can't get it to work from photobucket.

I think I've fixed the problems there. Let's see. How about some pics of Admiral??
