Picked up the Admiral Sonar remote set on Saturday.I didn't have room to take the '71 but the '67 works great! I just have to iron out some of the usual bad caps and resistors in the vertical section. The color is very bright and correct, the reds are not orangey and the blues and greens are also eye popping, nice flesh tones as well. Looks very nice with a DTV converter hooked up and on analog. The CRT is a RCA Hi-Lite and is very strong. There is a story behind that tube but.... I don't want to get into that. I am just happy the set works. I was also informed that the FBT might be a new Thordarson, I'll have to check and see. The only cosmetic issue is the feet are rotten on the bottom, I knew this beforehand but wanted the set anyways. I will post pics soon.
