Admiral T2211x - Canada

[electroking]

I have a bunch of Canadian TV service manuals (Radio College of Canada). If you
wish, I may look this up for you over the weekend. As a matter of fact
that would be a 'last chance before winter' opportunity, as I will be making my
final trip to that location until next spring. Hope you get to keep and restore this
TV, any Canadian model from that vintage is bound to be quite rare. Get back
to me if you're interested (by Friday)...

Welcome to the forum by the way, you just hit the right place. Also be sure to
visit audiokarma.com, much more activity there... In fact both sites used to
be one.

thank you and any information would be appreciated..... I probably won't get to keep it... I bought it because my parents had one just like it..... wanted to keep the memory.

HI Blondee

That is nearly identical to the first set we had when I was a kid. A 1953 model. Yours looks like it has 1953 trim with 1954 knobs. Those rounded corners are very recognizable. Take a look at this 1954 brochure:

My dad kept our set running by replacing tubes, and even the picture tube once, until 1965 when we replaced it with a Silvertone color set.

Hope you can save it.
