Nice to see that TV making a picture, after all the work you and your son put into it. Those old Admirals, like 1950s-'70s Zeniths, deserve to be kept going if at all possible, since these sets represent a level of quality we just don't see in anything anymore. However, how are you getting a picture on that set? I don't see a converter or cable box anywhere, just a pair of rabbit ears on top of the cabinet. Unless the antenna is just for show and you are feeding the set with a VCR or DVD player, it would be impossible to get any kind of reception unless Buffalo still has one or two analog TV stations. Even Canada's television system has gone (mostly) all digital, so you would be hard-pressed to find any analog TV there either. The only other thing I can think of is you have your own in-house TV system, using agile modulators. I remember reading somewhere in this forum that you do have such a system.

Zenith. Gone, but not forgotten.
