Just over a month later and I've come up with the tuner...with a complete set of knobs!

Granted, the chrome is not in the best of shape. Rough in some areas, bubbling in others, rusty in other spots. But the tuner is complete. And the complete set of knobs is an extra added bonus.

The lacquer on the knobs is in poor shape, and they will all need to be relacquered.

This is an eBay find. I was outbid on the amp. The set was advertised as "working" before it was parted out. I'll go through it anyway...eventually...but I'll restore the McMurdo first.

Oh, and I now have an escutcheon for the dial, also, along with the "Y" cable for the tweeters, just in case I ever get lucky enough to find them.
