Admiral TV ID....

[nasadowsk]

Hey, a friend of mine found an Admiral TV at an antiques shop, and being the doofus he is, can't ID if the set's color, B&W, 50's 60's 70's 40' 30' 20's 1800's or whatever....

So, he gets me the model and chassis number instead:

521M16 <- There may be numbers/letters after that
21Y1 "TV Radio Chassis"

I'm guessing it sounds early mid 50'sish B&W, but beyond that? It's an upright console, it 'might' have a 21 inch screen, which may / may not be a round CRT, a square CRT, or a triangular CRT, which itself could be 110 degree, 90 degree, 70 degree, 1 degree, or 1 million degree deflection.

(wacks head against table)

Anyway, I'm looking for some basic info on the thing to see if it's worth heading over there (a few hundred miles) to snag the set...

Thanks!
