Picked up and Admiral 20X122

Yup, I'd make room for one of those.

Nice find and the price was a steal. You're lucky that it has the elusive metal back on it. That piece will often get more than you paid for the entire set - if you can find one.
After decades of passing them up I finally got a restored one a few months ago (for SUBSTAINTIALY more than you paid!) and am so impressed by it. One of my favorite pieces of my entire collection. As expected from Admiral, great solid performance too.

Every collector should have one of those, and you got it for a great price.

By coincidence, I'm working on one of the look-alike models (24A12) right now.

Those are great performing sets and you stole it! That set is an easy set to restore and the picture is surprisingly very good. Shine up the brass around the knobs and it's a very sharp looking little TV. Great find! Attached is the picture of mine that I restored a couple of years ago. I've got a 14 rectangular bakelite Admiral console still on my to-do list.
