IMHO this is a real US built Admiral. It screams Admiral.
The only AOC tube sets I remember were a 12" & 16".
They were very distinctive inside & out. You would never
guess Admiral with the back off. Of course they may have
set kits over at first like Zenith sent to some countries.
The layout of the set is the same. Funny thing is when
Admiral went away AOC sets looked like US built Admirals for
years & kept the same part ## scheme. The first few yrs
they were quite good. Then they used what we called Goodyear
FBT's. They were good for a year then went up in smoke.......

One other very common thing on both B&W and colors
was the hoz hold coil would get smashed in. We ordered
them & the shafts by the dozen. That will kill your HV
& maybe the h output tube.
