I purchased this decal set for my philco 37-640 floor model but the only one i see that is on any cabinet is the main philco decal. I cant understand why there are no knob decals??? I look them up and not one photo online shows decals on the front to let you know what positions are for the knobs. How would someone know what the knobs and positions were and were for without them? I guess it would be wrong to add them since it is not original... Are there decas i am missing? id still like to know what the positions are on the on off knob. this one has 3 settings 1.on, 2.?, 3. ?
???

Oh and one last thing. What about the switch knob in the middle bottom? what does that do? does it have to be in a certain position to get the radio to play? is that for the shadow meter?

Thanks
