So for the radio historians in our group.....

I have a few Admiral sets, nothing fancy but good sets for 5 tubers. One I can say is a "real" Admiral, another 2 bear an awful close resemblence to a Truetone I have, the loop antennas are identical, so are the labels.

I know a bit about Admiral founded by a guy named Siragusa I think, but did Admiral hav48.e other companies make some of their stuff? My real question is did Detrola make some Admiral sets? Cuz I think they may have. Detrola made a ton of Truetones....but I know they shut down in 1948.

Appreciate your feedback.

Paul B.
