An Admiral 19A11 brought back to life!
My Grandfather picked this set up for me at an antique store. It's complete with a nice cabinet, back, not missing any knobs, but the front screen is a bit yellowed. I've replaced all the electrolytic capacitors, and most of the wax capacitors. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to power it up to see what I had, and it worked! Also found a couple of weak tubes, and replaced brittle, and soldering iron damaged wires. It looks like the bank of 6000 volt capacitors had been changed once before along with a few more throughout the chassis. I still need to check the resistors, and clean the contrast control. It seems to be working pretty well at this time. I ran it about an hour, and the picture seemed to improve with use. Sound is very loud, and clear with occasional minimal buzzing. It has a Sylvania 7JP4 CRT installed, not sure if that is the original.
