Hi Bill

I'm currently away from home, so I can't scan the knobs you seek at present. Perhaps someone else will step in and do so...the knobs are unique to 1946-1950-ish models.

There is, or was within the past day or two, a complete changer on eBay that would work well as a replacement for you. As I recall, it had the dynamic reproducer also. The dynamic reproducer can work very well if it has not been tinkered with; their main issue is that owners have tended to force standard steel needles into the reproducer cone, where only a special sapphire stylus is designed to fit, ruining the cone and resulting in distorted sound. If this has happened to one you end up with, try West-Tech or Syl Vanier to get it rebuilt; just be sure and send in the entire head, cover and all; do not attampt to remove the cartridge from the head. Don't ask me how I know...

Incidentally, you may be interested in knowing that Philco's "dynamic reproducer" is a magnetic cartridge.
