Philco pushbuttons
#7

Icon_thumbup That looks beautiful! Well done. One thing I noticed, from my 40-180, is that the far left side button says Tele-Vision.
It was meant to receive early television sound, and I would imagine as such it is obsolete today. You probably noticed that little yellow tag on the back side of the radio that says something to the effect that "this set is equipped to receive tele-vision sound". Were you able to pre-set that button to an actual radio station? I see you have station call letters above the button.

How did you get your knobs so shiny? Did you clear coat them? They look amazing!
