Neat old TV - 1948 Admiral (


I stopped by an Antique Dealer friend of mine and he had just picked this up - I know there are a few old electronics enthusiasts on this site so I thought I would post

My folks very first TV was an Admiral and i am guessing that it would be about vintage 1960 when they bought it. My mom has photos of me next to it over the years when me and my siblings were tikes. You knew you had made it when you had a TV back then. Sure the image was black and white and not very clear but............... YOU HAD A TV.

I didn't ask my friend what his price is on it - it 's unknown whether it works - I know my friend won't try plugging it and turning it on because local electronics guys have told him that is risky without opening it up and inspecting it first.

He can make money on this set by renting it out as a prop to local theatre and movie production companies - he already has a connection to that business

 

the sites I have looked at on the internet have said these models are quite desirable for their blonde wood finish. It is probably one of those items that has value to someone to people who are in to vintage electronics. 

Most people would have the same reaction I had when he showed it to me - I said that's neat but inside I said to myself what in the world would I do with something like that.

Memories. Bought this 1948 Admiral 10 from Mikes General Store in Winnipeg, St. Annes Road I think, in about 1985.

Tag on it said TV-doesnt work right, $140 I was so excited, 19 years old at the time, couldnt fork the money over fast enough. Got it home and repaired it. Used it as my main tv for a few years, the odd small repair required. Still works, nice bright picture tube. Family cats been at the speaker cloth. On my list of things to restore when I can afford to retire in 300 years.

I put heavy clear plastic over the speaker material on my old 37 Westinghouse floor model to prevent the cats from doing what happened to you.

I checked with my friend - he is asking $150 for it.

 

He has a number of other vintage TVs.  IF one was to buy in bulk you would probably get a better dealDSC03706.JPGDSC03707.JPGDSC03708.JPGDSC03709.JPG
