boards & kick-start ala RCA. Nice clean layout, not many problems &
it threw a damn nice pix. After that my biggest beef with NAP was the
switching supplies, could be a pain to deal with. Just dont like switchers.
Funai. I forgot about there "contibution" to NAP. Almostvery brand of CRT
set made a chassis I liked even GE & Orion. But Funai NO !!
I have a special hatered for them especially the combos......

We had a 19" Magnavox that used either a 19C1 or C2 chassis (both were similar) and that set ran for about 12 years, until the CRT got tired.
Speaking of Admiral, I know they built sets for Western Auto (Truetone). I have a friend who used to fix Truetone TV's and he said there was one Admiral-built late '70's console that had issues with the varactor tuner module coming unseated. I also remember him having a Truetone "last gasp" 22" B&W console from '78-'79 that was made by Admiral. It had a great picture; but, the cabinet was plain jane ugly.
