ID these knobs?

Post by Reeltarded »

We're hunting treasure.

Anyone recognize these knobs and know where there might be some?

They look similar to bakelite knob that Westinghouse used.

Excellent, which would make some sense. I think they are 50s/60s surplus.

A friend needs these if anyone has a surplus source.

Groovy 2-tone! I have no answer where to find (except it's always worth an inquiry at ApexJr) but what's that gear they're attached to? Looks like possibly some sorta special EQ.

Don't be keepin' us in suspenders! I bet it's a good lookin' device. Seems colorful enough.

Oh I did hold back my initial answer "Dolly Parton." :P Now that's out of the way, on with the show.

They're vintage Catalin, and very unusual in that the skirt is a different color.

The butterscotch and red are hard colors to find.

Catalin - might start snooping around the old radio collector websites.
