Ignorant question Admiral?

Well that is not mine but Mr. Rebar does a great job. I know him and his work is exceptional. For a non collector wanting to get a set he is a good bet. 

Mine needs some TLC but the photo showed the knobs well. 

Thanks Terry, I have not gotten the non original replacements off yet but I have a feeling they are the usual half round so s/b 1/4 inch. A fairly basic 2 knob set but I like the look has a Jensen speaker not sure if that is original or not but I have a thing for the look of this little case.

So a little update on this set, pulled out chassis today nice and clean no rust, speaker is not original someone stuck in a 4 inch Jensen Alnico speaker attached with baling wire, tubes all there some original, cord was replaced a messy job too with a cord with way too much heft, but it looks like the underside may have not been touched. Only 1 rubber wire I could find. I am starting to wonder about knobs, post war sets might use anything available, this set has brass colored inlay on a generic looking brown plastic. Maybe I can get a photo or 2 up this weekend. Not the best acquisition but I think we can take a shot at her.

Thanks.
