Well folks, that Admiral model FA2326Z with a 21B3Z chassis on Ebay sure looks the part, but again, I've not been able to find any information about this TV.

The Ebay seller says it's a 1958 model, but wouldn't a 21B3Z chassis be earlier than a 1954 22A3? It's in Omaha which is a drive I could make there and back in a day and the auction ends in 4 days, so I'm stressing over whether I should pull the trigger on this or not. Can any of you Admiral experts provide some guidance? I did find a Service Manual for $24 for the 21B3Z chassis:

But, I don't want to fork out 24 bucks only to figure out this model won't work. And I see there are SAMs available for the 21B3Z chassis as well, but I still have not been able to find out what model year this TV actually came out or if the chassis would work in a C2226. Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks!
Neil
Edit: The ebay link I copied and pasted doesn't appear to be working for some reason, but it comes up early on in an Ebay search of "vintage admiral tv". There are pictures of the back panel showing the model and chassis information.
