The 24A2 Chassis was used in both 1963-1964 model Admirals.

I have a '67 Admiral roundie metal tabletop. Got it from the original owner. Still worked great after sitting for 30 years! I like the small cabinet. Takes up minimal real estate. Congrats!

That was the first Admiral designed chassis. High voltage cage on the left, facing the back.

Here are some additional pictures. I am really getting excited for this TV. My wife has been getting concerned about the increasing number of TV's around the house so I'm going to have to "thin the herd". With it's compact size I will be able to make room for this and hopefully get it functioning.

RCA's and Zenith roundies still come up on occasion but Admirals rarely surface. You have a rare find there Sam and cant wait to see it up and going. Nice find!

Hard to tell for sure, but the convergence 'cloverleaf' housing looks like it might be busted.

High level de-mod, and some interesting color sync circuits of their own design. Corrections and comments welcome! Kevin

Growing up, my grandmother had this chassis Admiral Roundie, it was a good reliable set until the CRT died. Ours was same cabinet with a UHF tuner as well.

Admiral's first color chassis design
"24" was the first Admiral color chassis of their own design. For some interesting history on this 24A2 chassis go to Google Scholar and search on "Gillham v. Admiral". Let's hope the flyback was replaced with an improved type along the way...

This 21" Admiral color console is pictured in the Oct. 1955 Popular Science magazine in an article titled "1956 COLOR TVs." It looks to be an Admiral design. I could not find a chassis # in the Sams Index. The earliest Sams folder listed is for the CA322 series for the 1957 model year. Anyone ever seen one of these 1955/56 Admirals or know of a chassis #? I suspect this was a short production run.

I recall John Folsom confirming that the pictured set never actually existed. It depicts a fantasy upgrade of a 15" Admiral to a 21" tube.
