my very first vintage TV!!

Greetings TeeVee'ers! Well, after 40 years in tube audio, including writing for Vacuum Tube Valley magazine "The Classic Electronics Reference Journal" http://www.vacuumtube.com I've finally been bitten by the TV bug... I swore I'd never touch one of the infernal things, except for saving a factory RCA CT-100 manual I found a few years ago, thinking it must be kinda scarce and hating to see it thrown it out, but today it happened! While scavenging in a local electronics recycler, I came across this cute little Admiral TV Model TS-105-AL N that I just couldn't resist because it so cute, was almost complete (2 small gold knob center caps missing), 2 tone green, and in pretty nice shape. I have no idea if it works... can anyone tell anything about these? I assume these things need caps and such like a vintage McIntosh or other tube amp... Where do I find an owners manual or copy ? Also love to find an ad. I found a Sams for it.. Jeezum, I have a bad feeling that this is just the start of something scary!!! Attached a pic. RA in NY
