May just be ME, but there's just SOMETHING about those little 19A11 Admirals that make them look "SO Right".... Operationally, I don't think they're necessarily any better or any worse than any other 7" late '40s TV, but they're to me, just SO damn CUTE.. Sorta like the '57 Chevy of TVs, if you will.... 'Twould be a hoot as well, to find a new in the box somewhere, & see if they gave a better picture when not eaten up w/70 years, & a gazillion hours on the CRT... While we're Dreamin', I wish I had the technical smarts to rig up a COLOR one... Slip a 5" color set-IF you could wrest one away from the Gamer Putzes-put it into thr Admiral cabinet, & you'd have somethin' to REALLY Show Off...

There's a Bakelite AA5 Admiral radio that looks similar and would pair well with it.

If the IF has enough bandwidth to pass the chroma sub carrier a NTSC color wheel converter would be an interesting period conversion.
