The 602C in the Gallery has an (incorrect) rosette knob for tuning. The 600C in the Gallery has the correct knobs.

It is odd, given Philco's penchant for pinching pennies, that they would design and implement a bandswitch knob that was only used in the latter half of the 1936 season. (Not to mention the off-on-volume knobs of the 600C and 602C.) But then again, Philco switched from black to brown knobs for the 1937 season, also. Very odd indeed.

Maybe he made the knob for another use but switched it to this radio to save part/money. Just speculation, probably could not prove one way or the other.
