1970's Admiral on eBay

Is that a date code sticker on the CRT? Is there any way on earth that means the 35th week of 1972 which is my understanding of the normal way those are written? If so, and the gun emission values you get are correct, that CRT alone is ample proof this country used to be a great industrial power. Growing up at home, I recall our first color set was a 25" magnavox hybrid made in 1971. It lasted as heavily used daily watcher until at least 1989 with minimal to no service whatsoever.
