Admiral 14R12 Restoration
Here's some more pics my daughter took of it. Besides being filthy, the biggest thing that I can see is the speaker is missing. Interesting that all the attaching hardware was put back.

Yeah, the dirt will clean off. The AMC 116T TV was filthy, but cleaned up real nice. I'm thinking this one will too. Yeah, I was glad to see no brightener. I'll see her in about a week so I'll report back on the CRT and any other findings.

The console model # is 24R12 with 14" screen. I also found this Admiral console listed as a 14R12: http://www.auctionzip.com/auction-lo...ON_1E84A96A0D/. A bit confused

I've been wanting another Bakelite TV since selling my last ones, so I almost went for this...Then the guy that got it chimed in, and I decided to back off and let him have it.

The model numbers that I listed, in an earlier entry for the model in question, were taken from the Rider's volume six, coverage on that model and chassis. |

Guys,
Had a chance to look deeper into this TV. It is indeed a 14R12 with a 20T1 chassis. The CRT tested very low on my BK 476 tester. Below the green. I did a "Clean" on it and it didn't improve much. The rest of the chassis looks pretty good. A little rust on 2 of the mounting feet. Looks like one of the electrolytics has been replaced. Otherwise very much unmolested. The cabinet has no cracks but certainly needs worked on. No deep scratches or anything like that. A few of the tubes tested bad but most tested well into the green. Looking forward to restoring this one. Last edited by Crist Rigott; 12-03-2016 at 09:12 PM. |

Can you go into more detail as to why you think it is a rebuilt CRT and also what tubes gives you the clue to say that the set was used well into the 60's. I'm thinking maybe I could learn something.
Thanks. |

60s style 5u4 and horizontal output tube may be why he said that

HV rect looks to have very sharp edges to the top glass...That did not come till the mid-late 60's I believe.

The great pictures you furnished don't show a brand name on the CRT base. The CRT's in a set that age, wouldn't make it past about five years. |
