I'm thinking of buying this Admiral

[MadMan]

I had this set out on Christmas day running a fireplace and playing xmas music. It performed well, only had to adjust it once a couple hours in, but I was running the contrast right near the point where it's about to make the image unstable, anyhow. I think it's just fine. And the sound is really crisp and clear, even with a couple of weak tubes in the audio section. Something I noticed though, is that it no longer has a spot when you turn it off - the screen just goes black instantly. Which is what it does from the factory, but after adding Doublee's DC restoration mod, it would leave a spot the size of a quarter when turned off, for about a minute.

It just now dawned on me that the retrace suppression circuit was the only change made between then and now. So I guess it kills the spot too. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
