New TV guy here

[UberVacTuber]

Hi all,

Dan Jones here from Michigan. I had originally signed on with the AudioKarma site years ago. I've done a few radio and stereo restorations, and felt ready to take on an old TV. Phil Nelson (also a member here) has already been giving me much advice and has been a huge help. Thanks, Phil!!

Years ago my folks were preparing to tear down our old family cottage and luckily we saved the old Admiral 30A14. My grandparents purchased it new in '48 and were the proverbial "first on the block to own a TV".. It sat in a storage locker until early this spring I hauled it out and began to work on it. I've gotten it functional again, and am now doing the detail debugging work. As I go I might be asking a few questions as I've noticed while reading through the site here that Admiral sets have some picture quirks that are normal and inherent to the design.

We also had a larger Muntz TV at the cottage as well. Sadly, it was left there and went down with the ship. (I keep telling myself that it had a tube brightener and would have been a lost cause anyway...)
