Hi all,
New guy here, my name is Mike. I need a little help.
To the point: What are the correct knobs for a Philco Tropic 41-788 (the 2 left and 2 right knobs, the center IS correct)

The story: This Philco has been in my life since I can remember but hasn't worked in years. Now retired, I'm in the process of restoring it. Upon removing the knobs I discovered they are Hallicrafters knobs. Two 15B031 (could be 158031) on the right and two 81-003 on the left. The backs are embossed with manufacture and part#. I knew the righthand knobs were incorrect but had assumed the left one were correct, Wrong! They looked as if they belonged. Suspect my dad had something to do with it as he had several Hallicrafters in his shack.
Anyway, I believe Mr. Jackson (jgj6331) also has the same model Philco.

Thanks,
Mike
