I have a set of reproduction rosette knobs that I bought for a Philco 60L, from Larry Bordanaro. Unfortunately they are all dark brown, no grain pattern, and have a set screw, even though the slot for the spring was cast into the backs of the knobs. That sort of pissed me off because it seemed unnecessary, why add a set screw where none was needed? The man makes excellent pushbuttons, and escutcheons for early 40's Philcos but he fumbled the rosette and hex knobs. Was he trying to make sure that they would not be confused with the originals? Renovated Radios also sells repro knobs, but I've never ordered anything from them to see if they are better or not.
