Philco 70 cathedral knobs
#3

It depends on which version of the 70 you have - early or late.

Early versions (below S/N B22000) use three of the small rosette knobs on the three lower shafts, and a medium rosette on the tuning shaft.

Late versions (above S/N B22000, these use 35/51 tubes and do not have a separate 27 oscillator tube) use a large rosette on the tuning shaft, two medium rosettes on the tone and volume shafts, and a small rosette on the off-on switch shaft.

This has been argued about, disagreed upon, etc. many times over the years, but Philco's own documentation bears this out. So, I go along with the Philco documentation.
