Recapped the Admiral! - Still having issues...

[RitchieMars]

Thanks, I'll be looking into all this once my diodes arrive! At least it's shaping up like the Admiral will live to play again, 50 years after it fell into disuse. It's literally been half a century since anyone in my family has so much as seen the dial lamps light up or heard any music out of it.

The only things I'm left searching for are the cosmetics. I've found a grille cloth that's nearly an identical match to the original. That'll be a big improvement. The knobs are all original and look a little warped... but other than that okay. The only other "big" thing I'm missing is a dial pointer. I can't find anyone who has a listing, an image, or anything about this radio online. Only google results you'll find is my threads in this forum and at AK, and replacement dial lenses. I'm not sure who to turn to in search of dial pointers, nor can I can I find a reference image to give me an idea of what mine should look like.
