I recently finished this 19A12 tabletop, my first Admiral set.



It was an easy restoration and this 7-inch TV performs very well given its simple design. This may inspire me to dig out the 24C15 console that's waiting for restoration in the back of my shop.

About 10 days, give or take, because I'm a slowpoke and I putter with these things sporadically. An experienced restorer who works steadily might would have done the same work in two or three days.

This was an unusually easy restoration because it's a simple TV and I happened to find a good one. Most of my projects take longer -- sometimes much longer, depending on the complexity of the TV and what problems it has.
