Admiral 6T01
#10

Ill look at label, but tubes match mine, got a 12SJ7 as extra tube. My guy is a 6 tube job.

So Mr. Fixr55 my complete label reads 6T01 6A1N MA the label is complete it is a Brown Bakelite, they also made it in a Cream color
and that has a slightly different #.

This one illustrated for me that a set with weak tubes can still sound OK. Though the very slow warm up and need to put Volume up was likely to having 3 low emitters in there, should have tipped me to something. The replacements made a difference plenty of volume off the 5 inch speaker and quicker warm up, proper #pilot lamp means I can read dial better is brighter for nitetime. So I learned a little.

Made me wonder if people did "re tube radios" like you see in those ads from the old magazines.."insist on RCA Radiotron tubes when re tubing". Could have been expensive for a high tube count fancy set.

My Admiral retailed for 27.95 in 1946 --424.66 in todays money according to inflation calculator. It was 29.95 if you took installment plan, at your local Admiral Dealer..............
