Looks nice and that CRT is in great shape... and Aluminized!
Good on 'ya Mate.

Thanks. Seems I like the early 50's Admirals too. I have a 21K1 console that has been my daily driver for a year now. Tim (Kamakiri) found it in Buffalo and recapped it. Then I found a better testing CRT for it, replaced all the resistors and tweaked the heck out of it. I have put hundreds of hours on it this last year and it is a WONDERFUL performer. I was thinking that if the Telebar performs as well (at least the TV) I would maybe sell the 21K1, but I dunno?!?!? It has worked its way into me heart as a lot of these sets do. Especially since this was my first working vintage set.
