The audio output averaging 3 watts shows how good sound was pretty standard among the early 50s TVs. Magnavox made some sets with wicked sound!
Funny they did not list tuner or IF stage quantity info, that affects how well you picked up in a deep fringe area.
Admiral sets had a reputation for better tuners according to some old timers upstate.
I like how many of the survivors like Philco, RCA, Magnavox, Zenith offered a record changer, while the many others had few, if any. Lots of manufacturers in Chicago.
You could assume most of those sets had power transformers since a "portable" was a future concept.
It seemed like the late 50s there was big competition to see who could make the slimmest sets and ultimately, worst heat management and picture tubes.
