David, I also believe that to be correct. Again, I could never find an ad or any documentation that would validate that the early 21" Admiral existed. More hype by the Admiral Corp. The actual '56-'57 Admiral color receivers were manufactured starting in late 1956 for the 1957 model year. They were produced to directly compete with the RCA Victor CTC-5 models. They used an Admiral designed chassis. Admiral, like RCA, offered a model under $500.00.
