  • The Admiral 51-K6 is an AC operated 6 tube BC and SW band receiver. The BC band frequency range is 535 - 1730kHz.  The SW band frequency range is 5.65 - 18.1MHz.

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

    Model Cabinet

    52-K6 Painted ivory bakelite

    Note: The reference "Table Top Radios Vol 4" mistakenly state that this model has 5 tubes when it actually has 6 tubes.
