Estate sale find, first in a long time. 1969 Admiral color
I found it in Zion Il in a 1960's home, probably been there since new. It has "Lindys TV" stickers on it from a long time ago, I remember that shop was still open up until a few years ago. I was pretty exited to find any tube color set at an estate sale since it's been so long. I paid 50 cents for it being it's half price day
 A few people were staring at me funny carrying a mini console down the stairs myself, they just kept staring at me......I thought hmmm, is there something on my face?!?! I know I'm weird but no need to stare  Maybe it's 'cause I'm so pretty.....not. Anyways, it made me uncomfortable and I didn't check the rest of the house. I think this was the only good one as all the tvs were in one room it seemed. I took a picture of the house and the set in my van, I'll add those later. I'm at Dunkin Donuts drinkin' iced coffee right now

Sounds like you made an excellent find! And, yeah, I love all the looks of disbelief from people because they can't believe someone would actually want an old TV.

Wow, congrats on your Admiral find! :-) I'm anxious to see the pictures, I remember working on one from around that time period, but it was in a metal table top cabinet. I think the mini-console's are COOL, and rare-er, especially nowadays. Had to laugh about the people staring, it doesn't even bother me, I'm used to getting looks at me, and all the old stuff I have picked up over the years, starting back when I was young, hauling sets out of the dump, or away from someone's trash at the street! And of course I probably looked as excited as a kid with a new toy! I probably still have that look, sometimes. :-)

Nice.
Those mini consoles ain't all that easy to find...I'd say they are on par rarity wise with Japanese tube color sets. Closest I've come to owning a Maggy color was the tuner and speakers I got from one that had an 80's Zenith stuffed where the guts were.
