Admiral 26X56 restoration

[bandersen]

I found this set on the local craigslist about 5 years ago. It's an Admiral 2656 circa 1950/51 with a metal cone 16GP4 CRT. It's complete and in good condition aside from a broken off control door which I have since replaced

It was sitting in the basement of the house it had been in it's whole life. The house was being sold and it had to go. The seller had grown up with it and remembered watching it years ago when something popped and the screen went dark.





The CRT tests on the weak side and the 5U4 looks well used.


HV rectifier plate cap lead is broken off as this picture taken 5 years ago shows. Wish I had remembered that when I started working on it last weekend
