I'm thinking of buying this Admiral

Some comments.

1. The focus coil can be tilted by moving a lever arm to position the trace... that is the odd arm sticking out of the back of the set.

2. You could try a power-up with the rectifier (5U4) removed, to see if the excessive power draw is caused by the filter caps...you should be able to light up all of the (good) tube heaters, without drawing excessive wattage.

3. Sure, I should be able to get halfway decent close-ups of the door with this iPad.

4. For sure, try an extended "wake up" of the jug.

My thoughts exactly!

Eh... about 10 minutes. I don't think I'm gonna attempt a rejuv unless I'm 100% sure it's not going to give me anything at all. I'll try it on the tester again, though.

Nope! It's exactly what I thought it was: electromagnetic focus coil. It sez so in the Sams. It does have a trap magnet too...

I might do that!

Also, I pulled all the tubes and tested them, of the 19 tubes, 8 or so are bad in one way or another. I think I have replacements, I'll have to check.
