60s / 70s Admiral 'Instant Play' Portable

[zeno]

The 1062-1 probably the right one. See if you can
find a free one first. If not get back to me. DO NOT
buy it from Sams. Will be a shitty PDF of photocopy.
I have high quality originals. for 1/4 the cost.

BTW these had a lot of bad yokes. Often if you pull
it off the CRT it will start to burn & prove it easily.

Didn't Admiral build this same set, with several variations, until the end of the tube era? The last one I worked on had a single control for brightness and contrast, that they referred to as a video or picture control. Seems to be around 1975 or so. The tube compliment was slightly different.
IIRC, that set had an SSKresge logo on the speaker grill.

Yeah, I looked. No free one is to be had. Hell, no paid one is to be had! Excepting from Sam's, so thanks for the warning, because I was considering dropping $22 on that. I have a friend who may have a Sams collection, and then the library in downtown Chicago has a collection... but it's sketchy as to whether theirs goes above 600 or so. I'm gonna be calling in and seeing if they know, and if my friend has Sams or not. He's a quote-unquote tv repairman, but he's actually a friend of a friend and I don't know him very well.

Although he pissed me off because he shortchanged me on some car repair I did for him. So in my book, he owes me a $150 favor.

But I might take you up on that offer.

Also, the yoke looks pristine, it was the cleanest part of the whole ratshit-covered set. And I've taken it off but not while it was working. But now that you mention it, don't they have capacitors inside of them? Maybe I'll crack it open and check the resistance of the coils anyhow.
