I think I beat you to the punch on the knobs, but I ended up "recycling" a sub-par terminal strip. :-)
Regarding the phonograph, it ended up being the wire from the cartridge instead of the cartridge itself, so that was an easy fix, too! The phono is a bit quiet, still, but a signal generator comes through loud and clear, so I will perhaps keep your links for the future.
In a side note, when my 37-620 was finished, my friend had to remove the decals, so I ordered some from antique electronic supply. They were $5 / sheet and they are general enough that I can use them on most Philco sets. The 37-620 is turning out very nicely from a cosmetic standpoint and I will start a new thread to "show it off" if that is permitted in an appropriate category.
I have to say that this is the first time I have found a forum to be useful. Perhaps I was not "doing it right" in the past, but I definitely thank you for this one, because you've been very helpful!
