If you are not going to use the chassis, I sure could use the adjustable width coil. Mine was reduced to ashes.
The Zenith chassis is a G2437RZ. If I don't need that width coil for my porthole, it's all yours.

Here it is next to a 16GP4 CRT. Looks like it would be a challenge to make a 16GP4 work in one of these sets.



It looks to be in better condition than the chassis currently in my set.


The other chassis I picked up is an RCA KCS47A. I should have recognized it sooner since I already have another one out in the garage. I'll be parting both out or maybe someone needs a whole chassis ?

The CRT showed zero emissions at first, but after 30 minutes at 7VAC is creeping towards the green




The Admiral is in very good all original condition. Almost all the tubes including the CRT are Admiral branded.



All the knobs are black bakelite. This is the first time I've come across black knobs - all the others have been brown.



Finally, the nixie tube thingy actually lights up. Just what I need to make a clock
