Much better pictures Mike, thanks! That's a really neat set, but I don't recognize those knobs. I sent some pictures off to the fellow who was once the cathedral collector king to see if he has any ideas.
EDIT: Julie (Radiopup) said they looked like early Zenith knobs, and Steve Geary verified they were the same knobs on his Skyrover made by Zenith. Kick me, but I also have a Skyrover with those same knobs but it was on a bottom shelf that I failed to inspect this afternoon . Anyway, I don't think those knobs were original to that set, and it might have to be classified as one of the little 4 tubers that came from one of the L.A. manufactures. I'll look through some of my other books, but my most likely source, the Floyd Paul archives, didn't turn up an exact match.
