I am new to the hobby but have already collected 4 portables in ONE month.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Admiral Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Admiral Serial Number page and the Admiral Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
