I have a Philco 16B tombstone, now electrically restored, cabinet OK as is. It came with three small black bakelite hex shaped knobs, but with no tuning knob. I have a LARGE black hex knob I can use, which matches some pictures of the radio I have seen. BUT, clearly the tuning knobs needs to be a set screw type rather than push-on like I have, since it takes some force to "shift gears" on the 2-speed drive. There is evidence of a set screw being used on the tuning shaft.

Does anyone have a photo of the correct knobs for this radio? I have yet to find a photo online with enough detail. The small black hex knobs may not even be original.

Thanks!
Dave
