The 48-214 looks like a fairly attractive set if it's in decent shape, and unlike a pre war model it will have vinyl covered wiring instead of the rubber stuff. At least in the factory advertising it looks like it has the same knobs as some of the 1942 sets, my 42-327 has the same, but the post war set will have bakelite ones while the pre war ones could have been either Bakelite or Tenite.
Best Regards
Arran
