The speaker is missing. I have had this set since grammer school and it ended up in the closet many years ago when too many other projects got in its way. It replaced a 17 inch dual chassis Philco my Mother "gave" away as being too "dangerous" for me at the time. I kinda kept it quiet that this one worked to prevent it from gettting the same fate.
The TS-4 and TS-14 Motorolas got me interested again so, since they're done, its time for the Admiral! It has the "Admiral corp" logo in paint on the picture tube!
I took the speaker out long ago but it wasn't with the TV when I pulled it from the closet (really an attic room). I checked and the output transformer was on the speaker assembly and it doubled as a choke for the power supply.
This set looks more sophisticated than the Motorolas (removeable tuner, IF assembly).
I'm glad it went into the closet as that saved it, a 14 inch Philco "transitone" and a 17 inch Crosley. I'm going to bring the camera home tonight and post pictures tomorrow!
