Thanks Crist,
This is the second 14R12 I'm working on. The first was the production run #8 set I finished last November. This set I think may be a production run #6 or #7. This set was too rusted to find any markings. According to service literature, only a few production runs had the color adapter socket for CBS COLOR wired into the set. My run #8 set only has the socket installed with no wires connected. The tuners in these sets were dated November and December 1950.
This set also has a different tube complement than my run #8 set for the vertical output tube. This set uses a U-Core flyback whereas the run #8 has an E-Core flyback. This set had its' bottom shield also, the other sets' was missing. Admiral had lots of production changes, just like Motorola.

BTW: The nice work you did on your 14R12 must have inspired/ motivated me to try plating this rust bucket set.
