Philco 66 knobs
#1

Assuming I get the electronic rebuild done soon, I'll want to finish the cosmetic parts of the restoration. I'm mostly done there. The cabinet finish was decent to begin with, but I did some veneer replacement on the front around the outside of the grill and feathered the new bits in so they look fairly seamless. The grille cloth was toast, but I wen with a compromise I can live with although I somehow stained a part of it, so I will at some point have to redo it.
The knobs on this set, though, are rosettes. Every photo I've seen shows acorn knobs. These knobs appear to be quite old, and made of Bakelite, so if a substitution was made, it was made with old parts. The cabinet is a cathedral instead of a tombstone. Should I have acorn knobs for this set?
