A 60s vintage B&W portable 17” Admiral to be exact. $25 on Craigslist and it works! Not sure what model/chassis but that will come later when I pull the back off......

Still not sure about the chassis number, but definitely past 1964, we have UHF and compactrons. Dirty filthy needs a clean and a recap but not immediately. All tubes are Admiral so it might be a low-ish hour set

It has keyed AGC, that's why! It doesn't show a HV rectifier tube. It must use that strange campactron type that only has two pins. |
This was the last of the good mid priced Admiral B&W sets.
After that the were basically better GE's all based on the same compactrons. When they went SS they were a solid set. Sadly after a few yrs of building good sets again Rockwell killed them off. 73 Zeno:smoke: LFOD ! |

Yeah this is a great little set. I peeked in the HV cage briefly, looks like a regular 9 pin HV rectifier to me. I blew all the crud out of it, most capacitors looked like polystyrene types, but it had the white tubular type which are bombs lol
We’ll get a recap in at some point, I got too much taken apart at the moment..... |
Did anyone reputable ever make a tube TV with just one IF stage?
Two stages seemed to be common, even on cheap color sets (CTC-20!). Did tubes get that good, or did set makers get that cheap? |

I don't think I have ever seen a tube layout diagram which didn't show the HV rectifier. If one looks closely at this tube layout diagram, it looks like the idea for this diagram is to show how the series heaters are wired and since the HV rectifier is not a part of the filament string, it was not shown.
