Admiral 24C16 restoration

[bandersen]

This set uses the 20B1 chassis which is almost identical to the 20A1 chassis in my Admiral 24A12 so I've been restoring them at the same time.

I picked this set up last spring. The cabinet is in really good shape except for a ring on top where there is some finish loss.


Always use a coaster!





The chassis is in pretty good condition too. It's covered in light rust and filthy, but intact otherwise. I can only find evidence of two capacitors being replaced long ago.




The CRT is losing is aquadag coating and is an odd brand "Nat'l Video Corp". It tests very good, but I do get an intermittent G1 short. Tapping on the neck makes it go away. I just might be trying the "remove short" function for the first time.






Here are the two chassis side by side. The one for this set is on the left.


Pretty much the only difference is that this one is wired for a 12LP4
