The Australian Admirals were recognizable by the channel and volume knobs at the very top left and right of the cabinet. The channel knob has a long springy shaft which felt quite odd when changing channels. Made a real "clunk clunk" sound too. Lazy techs would snap off the pcb mount paper caps and tack solder a new on across the exposed leads. They were a bit of a beast to work on. Worked well enough when given the right treatment as I recall.
