One other question I had about this radio is about one of the knobs. RenovatedRadios lists this knob as a bandswitch knob for the 640:

However, this picture of my radio shows that the bandswitch knob is round. It appears to be original.

After a Google search for the 640 I found that most pictures had a round knob but some had this switch knob. Which knob is accurate for the 640?
