At the risk of not straying too far off topic, actually the Admiral C1617A was the first with more than 1000 copies made and the Westinghouse H840CK15 was second with approximately 3500 copies made. RCA CT-100 was third with about 4400 copies made.

Admiral was in stores in January, 1954, Westinghouse March, 1954 and RCA April, 1954. Availability of all sets were very limited. As an example, the CT-100 wasn’t available to purchase in NYC until mid May, 1954.

I don’t know what demod scheme Admiral used with their C1617A.

EDIT: Clarification, The RCA could be ordered in April, 1954, but not available until about mid May, 1954.
