Either one is correct for the 5-band 16B tombstone (and 1935 model 16 consoles with 5-band chassis).

Hello Ron and TA:

Thanks for your helpful replies. I contacted Dave Frush from the "Philco Resources." He had a large knob with a set screw. It's in the mail, so I'm set for knobs. Icon_thumbup

Thanks!
