Canadian Admiral 20x146

[Tony F]

I'm not sure how the size of the Transformer compares with the U.S. versions. You can't tell by looking at the top, but underneath, the transformer goes to the very bottom of the sheet metal chassis with no room to spare. Comparing this to the split chassis Bakelite 1949 Admirals, (the capacitor cans on those are dated 8-49). The cans on this set are dated 1-50. Making this an early 1950 set. Also the serial number is higher. The crt is a 12LP4A, the chassis shows no signs of repair. Although the chassis is stamped 5U4G for the transformer, there is a 5V4 there and cabinet decal shows a 5V4 on the chassis picture. Everything had a thick layer of dust, also NO signs of small furry visitors, which is a nice bonus.
