Nice set
A guy in Nebraska tried to talk me into buying that same model set and trust that it would survive shipping. I learned my lesson after destroying a similar bakelite set and turned him down.

I've heard that Admirals are hard to kill as well. Almost temps me to try powering up a couple I've haven't gotten around to yet

Yes, they almost always are missing that door. I only have one set that has it's original door and even that one is cracked
