I need to identify this radio!
#7

Yeah on the knobs. Looking at Paul's example and other Plant A radios may be a set of bullet knobs would work. Trim ring..simple for the eyetube.
Many of the Plant A or Mystery Chicago radios get a bad rap and are tagged (by some guys) as Drugstore Radios etc. but for me and others they are often really interesting and nicely designed radios. Ive become convinced over the years that a lot of those Chicago radios were made by the same hands but tagged as anything from Climax...Silver and a long list of others. Id have a hard time calling this a "Drugstore Radio" as if its somehow "less than"
