Admiral Radio

from Radio America · host Radioamerica

The unit has been totally gone through and restored. I replaced all the main capacitors and one of the 5 tubes. All tubes were tested and passed manufactures' quality minimums. The changer was degreased, cleaned, relubricated and carefully adjusted. The capstan drive belts were also replaced and the turntable drive wheel was re-rubbered This cute unit built in 1952 received a new cartridge and needle.This Admiral has a strong AM radio and a 3 speed record changer which plays 78, 33, and 45 RPM records.It is in almost perfect condition save for cracks in the front clear radio dial bezel.I think it probably sounds as good as when it was new.
