Took a short 30 min trip to look at some sets today. The seller emailed me some pictures of his sets and I went with the full expectation to leave with a National TV-7W but alas it was WAY too far gone for me
. I did see an Admiral console and looked right over it in the pictures. I have seen Banderson post these in the past and I always thought they were just ok, and had a bakelite prejudice. Well that all changed 180 degrees when I saw the set in person. It is adorable
! I didn't end up leaving with it today, although I did take the Telematic Telecheck that is on top of the Admiral
. I made a deal that I could come back for the Admiral later and went on my way. The set is missing it's speaker, the lower half of the back panel, and the finish will never be 100% which is the only reason why I didn't lug it home with me today. I do now know that I'm in love with these sets and am wondering if I can find a better set in my price range
. Maybe some one here has a speaker, and a lower back cover and I'll change my mind about this one
.
I am looking forward to using the Telecheck on future projects, I think it will come in real handy when I do my 630ts.
