I cannot see the color, the 23X knobs are kinda maroon/brown, but these are Philco knobs and the size seems correct.

Before asking you a question , I would like to send you my best wishes from France for this new year ! Icon_biggrin 

My question is following

I was still remaining searching for the missing knobs for my console 23X I am restoring and could perhaps I have found ones

Do you think the following knobs are really the genuine original ones , or at least Philco ones suitable for the radio of my console ?

Thanks a lot for your kind reply   Icon_e_wink

Ce sont les boutons 23X. Ceux dont vous avez besoin sont bruns. Je ne sais pas si votre 4ème bouton est correct ou si mon 4ème bouton est bien.

Those are the 23X knobs. The ones you need are brown. I dont know if your 4th knob is correct or if my 4th knob is though...

Both the Gallery and Tuberadioland pics show the power knob being the same medium rosette as the other bottom two.
So if the color is brown and the black I am seeing is the result of light/photograph/dirt then the ones Claude has are a correct set. If they are black.....I do not know, question to Ron.

The original power switch knob would have been a small rosette, as shown in Kirk's picture above.

RE: PHILCO 23X meuble 1938 - claude.france - 01-03-2018

Thre knobs shown are said from a 114 model

The are anothers proposed, perhaps more convenient , said from 90 model?

RE: PHILCO 23X meuble 1938 - claude.france - 01-03-2018

I have found on the net a photo of this console showing that the three small knobs are same

RE: PHILCO 23X meuble 1938 - morzh - 01-03-2018

The ones from 90 seem like a match.

RE: PHILCO 23X meuble 1938 - Ron Ramirez - 01-04-2018

Later versions would have used three medium rosettes.

Use whatever you wish...but they were brown, not black.
