I'm currently working on restoring a Philco Predicta set and I'm missing the vertical, horizontal, and brightness knobs. Are there any known places to get some reproduction ones or should I just keep waiting until some might pop up on Ebay? I am also missing the original power button but the set already has a replacement from when I got it.

There are no reproductions currently being made. There were about 10 years ago but the maker has since passed away. The molds are in the possession of someone in the restoration community and they may be available again someday. Meanwhile, eBay and the Predicta Facebook group are you best options.
