Just Purchased - 1957 Admiral Imperial Model 414

Just scored this on the Bay. I had a blonde one of these when I was 11 years old. It's all monaural, but will rock the house with that 15-inch woofer and 30-watt amplifier. This was a high-end unit back in the day with an audio compensation control. I just need to get it shipped to Tucson.

Nice one! I recall finding the blonde version in a dumpster long ago, only salvaging the amp chassis. Does that have parallel push-pull 6BQ5?

I believe you're correct. I can almost read one of the tubes, and they look like four of the 6BQ5 tubes. Two parallel push-pull sets based on the tube layout.
