yup i had a GE (admiral look-a-like) set that was in poorer condition than the spartan. i attempted to restore it, but it was just too much work than what it was worth. However, the CRT was very good. benham picked it up to be used in his col-r-tel system. worked great i assume.

That sparton was a sad fine, I was all happy till I uncovered it, went to grab it and poof. I seen an admiral behind that, that I thought was a bakelite model but just a wooden version that turned to saw dust. There were lots of tvs at that place, lots of sadness. The lady said they hauled a whole room of them away to the dump. I was hoping to find a predicta. There was no way that I would even consider restoring one, I give you a thumbs up for trying.

Seeing those sad photos makes me renew my vow to sell or give away absolutely every radio & TV that I own before I croak.
