I think 1000 or so were initially made, they largely all failed, & another run of a 27" "Improved" replacement was done in 1951-52. Very few remain today, & I dunno of any working survivors w/either the 27" CRT or the original ginormous 30" jobs. Aren't you guys glad that you have a Crazee Bestid like ME who can remember all this weird, off the wall shyte like I do, & share it w/everyone ?!?

I want to hear more about this 27-inch replacements in 1951-52. Would you please start a new thread about it? (Hate to be hijacking this Admiral thread)
