I am trying to determine if the on/off, volume, etc., knobs were originally labeled on my Model 507 Radiobar? I seem to have gotten mixed answers to this question. I have purchased the "Radiobar" front panel decal from Radio Daze and would like to have that, and any other correct decals installed by my cabinet restoration shop. 
I honestly cannot remember if the knobs were labeled when I first got the radio almost 50 years ago.
Your thoughts?

No, the knobs had no decals above them originally. The only decal on the front panel would have been the "Radiobar" decal with "PHILCO" underneath that.

Thank you Ron. That seems to be the general consensus over at Radio Daze as well.
Although it does seem odd that Philco would not have labeled these controls originally.
Best, Greg

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
