I grew up watching Admiral sets.. the tv repairman made a small fortune off my parents. When he got divorced my mom stated that they payed for the divorce. I watch a 1954 Admiral as my main old set, very reliable. But I have to admit, I still call the tv repairman by first name, and he is still in business, and must be close to 80. In fact he recapped my Admiral when I got it last year. I collect old radios also and there were probably 10 tv/radio repair shops in Quincy IL in the 1970's when I started collecting. Now there are 2. And neither repairs radios anymore.

ps I still have a Motorola portable purchased by my parents in 1962 to fill a void of a dead and being repaired Admiral. It has been a great set and I still watch it a few times a year with no service done on it in 40 years at least.
