Pretty nice Admiral there. :thmbsp:

I pulled out all the stops in trying to get my folks to take me, and failed.

If this is the only week that the sale will held, and someone could get the color table model Zenith and cart for me it would make me happy (probably won't happen though).

I at least hope it don't end up in the trash.

That last unknown chassis is an RCA KCS 47, one of the cheapie chassis using a 6J5 vertical oscilator. Did you buy that broken Admiral? I have a good cabinet I could get rid of. I need that RCA.

I actually bought the broken Admiral several years ago. It was damaged in shipping from Florida. The one I bought today is in good condition. Yes, you are correct that is a KCS47A chassis. I believe I have another as well that's in even better condition.

Is your Admiral cabinet a table top or console ? Either way, they are tricky to ship.

Table top. I'm trying to complete my console Admiral. Could you help me on any parts lke back cover, bottom of chassis panel, Spkr?

I'd like to get a good KCS 47 that is the more deluxe one with 6SN7 vert. oscilator, and, sync sep.
Also need new flyback, and, yoke for same.

Just curious-does your Porthole chassis have the provisions for the Lazy Bones remote, as well as Phone Vision?

I'm not sure - what would I look for on the chassis ?

A socket on back that says remote. I think this set is too early for that.
I wouldn't be too quick to strip that chassis.

If you see a shaft sticking out of the back of the tuner drum, then you can hook up the remote. The Phonevision socket would be somewhere around the horizontal section, with a jumpered insert in it.

Hmm, I don't think it has either of those. Here are some pictures.
That flyback looks nasty.

As for parting it out goes, I'll just take whatever I need to get my set working. I may even use this chassis instead of the other if it's compatible and in better condition.

Sorry, I don't think I have any of those. None of my sets have the chassis panel either. I suppose some perforated sheet metal would make a good substitute :scratch2:

I'll go out to the garage tomorrow and take a closer look at the two chassis I have and let you know.

If you can spare the chassis half of the interlock on one of your sets I could use one.

For AC power ? I bet some other forum members have a NOS one they could spare. I needed one a while back for my GE 810 and Eric H was kind enough to send me one :)

Here are some pictures of the KCS47A chassis: http://www.bobandersen.com/images/RC...47A%20chassis/

Also, I was able to get the Admiral 20X11 up and running :) I'll start a dedicated thread shortly.

Here's the insides of the nixie counter. It's all transistors - germanium I believe.
