Here's a little update. I finally cleared a spot for this set and brought it inside
It's pretty darn heavy so I pulled both chassis first. Just as well since I've been curious about their condition. It also gave be a chance to tip it on it's side and put some felt pads on the feet.

It looks to be mostly original other than the flyback.
The sand coated power resistors are in miserable condition. Two have lost all their coating.

I found what looks like a broken dial cord. maybe that's for fine tuning ?


The electrolytic can ruptured and leaked all over.


Here it is next to my Motorola 12K2.



Finally, I picked up a porthole chassis with good 16EP4 at an estate sale recently I'll use that 16GP4 in an Admiral set.


Potential new 16EP4 CRT and parts chassis
