I had one of those Admirals for a while--exactly as you describe. It worked after a fashion, but needed TLC that involved parts I couldn't at the time afford. I had more TV sets back then than I had money, and a series-wired set was not something I'd ever take seriously. Nor would I a set with two pix IF stages. I'm not sure about how many this set had, but I'm dead certain it had a series-wired filament setup--just based on how it behaved on warm-up. I never opened the thing--and threw it out later. CRT was clapped out anyway...
