If you are not going to use the chassis, I sure could use the adjustable width coil. Mine was reduced to ashes.

The Zenith chassis is a G2437RZ. If I don't need that width coil for my porthole, it's all yours.

Here it is next to a 16GP4 CRT. Looks like it would be a challenge to make a 16GP4 work in one of these sets.



It looks to be in better condition than the chassis currently in my set.


The other chassis I picked up is an RCA KCS47A. I should have recognized it sooner since I already have another one out in the garage. I'll be parting both out or maybe someone needs a whole chassis ?

The CRT showed zero emissions at first, but after 30 minutes at 7VAC is creeping towards the green




The Admiral is in very good all original condition. Almost all the tubes including the CRT are Admiral branded.



All the knobs are black bakelite. This is the first time I've come across black knobs - all the others have been brown.



Finally, the nixie tube thingy actually lights up. Just what I need to make a clock

Pretty nice Admiral there.

That last unknown chassis is an RCA KCS 47, one of the cheapie chassis using a 6J5 vertical oscilator. Did you buy that broken Admiral? I have a good cabinet I could get rid of. I need that RCA.

I actually bought the broken Admiral several years ago. It was damaged in shipping from Florida. The one I bought today is in good condition. Yes, you are correct that is a KCS47A chassis. I believe I have another as well that's in even better condition.

Is your Admiral cabinet a table top or console ? Either way, they are tricky to ship.

[Bill Cahill]

Table top. I'm trying to complete my console Admiral. Could you help me on any parts lke back cover, bottom of chassis panel, Spkr?

I'd like to get a good KCS 47 that is the more deluxe one with 6SN7 vert. oscilator, and, sync sep.
Also need new flyback, and, yoke for same.

Just curious-does your Porthole chassis have the provisions for the Lazy Bones remote, as well as Phone Vision?

I'm not sure - what would I look for on the chassis ?

Sorry, I don't think I have any of those. None of my sets have the chassis panel either. I suppose some perforated sheet metal would make a good substitute

I'll go out to the garage tomorrow and take a closer look at the two chassis I have and let you know.
