It may look right to those who do not know, but that doesn't make it right. I want my early 70 to look the way it did when it left the factory, so it has three small rosette knobs plus a medium rosette for tuning.

One could use 1935 Philco hex knobs, or even RCA or Brand Z knobs. It wouldn't look right but it would be functional. (Actually you couldn't use RCA knobs as many of those required a half-flatted shaft and the Philco shafts were 1/4 flatted.)
