  • Notes
  • Beitman 1965 and SAMS Photofact (Date 7-64, set 705, folder 5) list the Admiral models Y3503, Y3508 and Y3509 (color gray) for chassis 4A4. All are AC-DC 4 tube AM receivers with only 4 tuned circuits (for local stations) with a loop antenna. They differ only in color and have two knobs. We believe that Y3503 is in some sort of white and Y3508 in some sort of green. For more information on the Y-models see this link.
