Thanks! The cabinet is in even better shape than the one I picked up a few months back. I think a Howard's restore-a-finish rubdown and a few clear lacquer dabs here and there are all it needs.

I'm starting to think all the Admirals are secretly trying to organize at your place. If you ever run across an empty cabinet for a lonely 20Z1 chassis, don't be afraid to grab it for me.
Could be. The seller put three sets on eBay at $9.99 and local pickup.
One was a huge Philco console with a busted 16LP4. No one bid on it.
I was the only bidder on the Admiral.
Just one other bidder on the Zenith, and I got it for $26. I hope it wasn't one of you guys.

At least two of the Admirals at my place are going away soon. They weren't mine to begin with - just dropped off for restoration.
