The only RC550 I could find is from 1952. If it can be saved, it should be.

the rc550 is a turntable that sits atop this radio. the turntable seems in pretty good shape partswise, but the entire unit (radio and turntable) were torn from a larger console with a slideout drawer. the turntable is actually the top of the radio cabinet, they seem to be independent of one another- electrically, but the turn table power routes through a switch on the front of the radio.
to complicate things the radio has no transformer inside the chassis, but appears complete otherwise. i received the radio/turntable in this condition. the original console is not to be found.
i'd think it best to offer this for parts, repairing what i can. the wiring looks good, there are obviouse signs of were and abuse.

The 3C1 is a valid Admiral radio chassis designator, and the logic for your piecemeal situation was probably being the fact of it being a salvaged out portion of an original combination 21 inch Tee Wee, "radio" and phono combination. It being stripped from the console, with the radio tube complement need being only minimal; thereby only the three RF/Mixer/Det-AF tubes, since it was to feed into the conventional audio and speaker system of the total combo unit.

I can only reference into that Admiral chassis number and in that case, if you can dig into the OLD MUSTY smelling Sams, they list that partricular Admiral ch# as being covered in their # 117-2.
You can get some idea my merely examining the chassis. I , myself, would probably expect the unit to be depending upon interconnection to the TV chassis to receive its filament and B+ requirements. Therefore,there would be no power transformer, rectifier or filters being on your radio chassis.
I see one addenda to the first posted info, and that would be the "Mixer / IFAmp / Det-AF amp " tubes, I was overgrading it tooooo much in the respect of a
frontal RF stage. If that chassis was GT octals the lineup might be 6SA7-6SK7-6SQ7 or 6BE6-6BA6-6AV6 if miniature tubes.

::thanks edd, do you possess the model # of the radio that i may obtain more info. and do you think someone else may make better use of these parts?

your second guess was correct on the smaller tubes. 6BE6-6BA6-6AV6 miniature tubes. is the lineup. i'm a newbee too, so some of this is jargon out of my range. i'm reading and using online tools to become familiar with the hobby. it is very fascinating to me. sometimes i think over my head too. i picked up a zenith m730 today for one dollar. it works well and is in very good condition. i think the restoration or use of the admiral is beyond my scope at this time. anyone interested in the parts for the radio or turntable is encouraged to contact me at my email address.
thanx again edd...(what are 73's?)
