Picked up and Admiral 20X122

[Doug66]

I found this on my regional Craislist for $50 on Thursday. I originally decided the 3 1/2 hr trip[ each way as not worth it, but I emailed the guy Sat morning. He still had it, and I was on my way from south GA to northern South Carolina by 1PM yesterday.

The seller immediately assumed I was going to "flip" it and resale it for a profit asking "How much was I going to make on this set?" I assured him that I was a collector and was going to restore it and display it in my house along with my other sets. I had brought a buddy with me who restated that I have a collection of old TVs and radios in my house.

Anyway, the seller said it hadn't been powered up in 30 yrs. He said the last time he used it, he let it sit for about a yr before trying it again. By then it wouldn't work. He said he reached in the back and was almost knocked off his feet. It's been sitting idle ever since.

The cabinet is in excellent shape, no cracks, just a few minor scratches that Novus #2 should take out. All I plan to do right now is just check the CRT.
