  • The Admiral Y3321A is an AC/DC operated 5 tube BC band receiver. BC band frequency range is 535 to 1620kHz. Has Qty(1) 4" PM speaker and Qty(1) Elliptical 3.5" x 5" PM speaker. Cabinet color is Black.

    The following models use the same schematic and cabinet but have different cabinet colors:

    Model Number Cabinet Color
    Y3321A Black
    Y3323A White

    SAMS Photofact (Date 7-64, set 704, folder 5) list the Admiral models Y3513, Y3517 and Y3519 for chassis 5K6 plus Y3321A and Y3323A with chassis 5D6D plus models Y3523, Y3528 and Y3529 with chassis 5L6. All are AC-DC 5 tube AM receivers with 6 tuned circuits with a loop antenna. Within a chasis they differ only in color.

    Beitman Vol 25 of 1965 adds the following clock models which are similar to above: Models Y3543, Y3554, Y3557 and Y3559 with chassis 5D6E, Y3381A, Y3383A with chassis 5D6F and Y3564, Y3568, Y3569, Y3573, Y3577 and Y3579 with chassis 5M6. They are all AC 60 cycle 5 tube clock radios with the same schematic except the clock wiring.

    Beitman shows that chassis 5D6E, 5K6 and 5M6 use one loudspeaker (T3) with 4" diameter. Chassis 5D6D and 5D6F use two loudspeakers in series (T4) and chassis 5L6 two in parallel (T5). It shows also four different dial stringings like for 5M6, 5D6D, 5D6F and 5L6 (missing 5K6 and 5D6E). There is a different "Precision wired system, 114E356-1 in 5K6 and 5L6 and 14E356-2 in 5D6D, 5D6E and 5D6F.
