I have seen two of them, one at Sony factory service & the other
at a regular shop. I would guess the reason behind it was that trinitrons
were 17" at the biggest back then. Why they went with Admiral is
beyond me. Other MUCH better sets at the time. Zenith, RCA, S-C etc.
I believe someone on the list has one.

I'm surprised Sony bought Admiral monitors in the 70s. I have a 19' Setchel Carlson made Sony badged industrial monitor. Nearly all tube with S-Cs famous modular tube color chassis. That monitor did see some use in broadcast monitor duty, but it was more common rebadged under various industrial brands... Apparently it was used with early CNC systems.
