Unknown Admiral 5 Tube
Anyone know the model number of this five tube? I can't find it.

How about a preliminary guess of "5E22AN"? I'll see what I can find and get back with you. It looks like a dandy set. Good luck.

Re: Unknown Admiral 5 Tube
Further investigation has revealed that you radio is, indeed, a model 5E22-AN, chassis 5E2, circa 1950, give or take a year or so. You can find the schematic diagram in Riders 22-5. I hope this helps and, again, good luck.

Glad I could help. If you need a copy of the schematic, I can print it out and either send it to you or scan it and email it.

Re: Unknown Admiral 5 Tube
I have the Riders and Beitmans CD and have printed it out now, thanks to your info.
Yes, I will take some pictures and put together a separate posting if it turns out working. I like the older, all octal 5-tubes.

Re: Unknown Admiral 5 Tube
Just go ahead and put your pictures on this thread. We look forward to seeing your progress!
I like AA5's myself. My wife cabbages onto the really colorful ones because she thinks they are cute.
I have that Riders/Beitman CD that I got on ebay for under $5. I don't know why everyone who works on radios does not have a copy. Mine has paid for itself a thousand times.

Me too. Best money I ever spent on eBay was that inexpensive CD--95% of the time it has what I need. Unfortunately, I also collect and restore VTVMs and other vintage test equipment...so sometimes I still have to order a manual from somebody.

Re: Unknown Admiral 5 Tube
Who do you buy your manuals from when the need arises? I use Steve Johnson and have been well-satisfied. He gives great service, has reasonable prices.

Steve Johnson or "Manual Man" on the ARF. Both excellent. The latter often has hard to find paper manuals for Heathkit equipment.
