I'm arranging to pick up an old admiral console TV.

Any idea what I can expect? I wanted to get the (possibly AC) flyback out of it but if it's in good condition I'll restore the made in the USA beauty.

That's from the late 60s-70s

Piece of crap to a collector to me.

There's a forum I hang out on regularly called the vintage radio forum, and there's a TV section

Link2

Loads of very knowledgeable people on there, who used to repair them 'back in the day'

I would give careful thought about getting involved
that TV combo. Watching your posts it would seem that
your time would be best spent on forward leaning rather
than backward leaning technologies. Remember,you
already know far more now than the people who built
and maintained that thing.

Take the time to hone math/physics/chemistry basics.
Then, after you have worked your first high paying job and
want a hobby, you can divert such as that old pig from
recyclers.
