Hi Guys
Somewhere around here I've got an article from Popular Science back in 1949 about the making of those cabinet. I'll see if I can post in on flicker.

Terry that would be awesome! I'd certainly be grateful.

He sent me this picture from his phone. I can't wait to see some scans.

Wow! I'd love to see a scan of all that stuff.

I noticed old issues of Popular Science were on line and searchable. I didn't find any articles but I did find a sort of ad. I think Bandersen has already posted this photo but it's all I could find. It's from the September 1949 issue. I saw mention of Admiral in a later issue where they compare portables in 1955 but that was all. Needless to say I won't be gathering six of my best friends any time soon to re-enact this photo.

It states here the cabinet was made by Molded Products Corp. Is that to say Admiral didn't make the cabinet in house?
