New acquisition, Philco 655B
#6

Doug, another gents is going to restore the cabinet. The guy I bought this from told me his father bought it used toward the end of WWII. I asked him about the bar knob. He said as far back as he can remember, it had that bar knob. I know these were later sets for 36. I figured it should be a round knob. Out of three 116B sets, only one came with the bar knob. My 640X came with a round knob also. Everything else has a boar knob.

I was wondering if that grill cloth was/is original.
