Early Television Convention ...

[bandersen]

Wow! Thanks for taking all the great pics
I think I recognize a few of those shady characters

Lots of nice sets in the auction. Anyone know what the 2nd set from the left (green speaker grille) is ?

It was only listed as an Admiral at the auction. It is probably the same chassis as the 10" I am working with right now, but the cabinet is really different.

On the way to ETF convention I pickep up a Trav-ler radio and Trav-ler TV. At the convention I bought an andrea from John at the Friday night get together. At the live auction I bought a reproduction lens hood for a mirror drum mechanical set. I have had an original mirror drum for several years and haven't done anything with it. I also picked up a 1939 Phico scope used for television and a 1940s scope.

It was good to see everyone again! -Richard

That Andrea is pretty neat. What is the screen size on that one?

[rld-tv01]

Andrea 12 inch from 1948. I picked up two 10 inch FADAs last year. Andrea and FADA was the same mnufacturer.

I ended up with that set. All I know is that it's an Admiral 10". There is a tube layout label in the cabinet and a serial number on the chassis but no chassis or model number. Any thoughts on if the green grill cloth is original? I've never seen an Admiral with this color cloth.

As much as I love to lust mightily over other folk's scores & neat old sets, I sure do wish that there would be more crowd shots where the Miscreants are identified...So as to put a name w/the handle !

Weird. That doesn't look anything like any Admiral chassis I've seen Those don't look like Admiral knobs either.
It does have that classic Admiral cabinet look though. Nice score

I gotta say "Emerson"... that group of 5 25Z6s in the power supply IMHO, is very Emerson looking.

Sandy, I am guilty of not taking people pictures at ETF. 1-Chuck A and Dave, 2-Chuck A, Darrel (tubesrule), Steve McVoy 4-Ken (Pearson) on right, 5-Dog, 6-Steve & Darrel

I still wanna say Admiral, as the hardware for the yoke is the same, as well as the same general chassis layout. I've never heard of Admiral using a hot chassis in their late 40s sets, though.

Interesting, could this be 100% Emerson? Or is this a Emerson chassis in an Admiral cabinet?

When I was in high school, I had one of these 10" Emerson consoles in my basement "shop". It looked exactly like the one in your picture, including the outward protrusion of the chassis/screen area. IIRC the grille cloth was gold instead of green. I am sure that it was 100% Emerson.

I think the chassis angled upward slightly (but not enough that it would slide back, if the screws were not installed)

[cdmarion]

Ok, Is it possible this is a Emerson model 527, 1948? The description in my identification book reads "Maple wood console with slanted front". Anyone have a picture of a model 527?

It does just that, the chassis angles slightly upward.
