That's from a Norwegian Albatross 2000 early 2 color set. It displayed both black AND white (just like Country AND Western)

That knob is from a Motorola TS-905 Color TV.

Isn't that the set Charlie has?
And is that top hinged? Is it to get to controls, or for servicing?

Yep, I DO wish I had that set! So close...to think, somebody around here long ago parted one out, and all I got was this lousy knob!

The lid on the set does lift up for easy access. This allows you to reach in while the set is running and adjust the purity magnets around the face of the CRT. It makes all the hairs on your arm stand on end while doing so. Sorta tests your faith.

This poor old beauty has a scruffy masonite cabinet, and the yoke housing is suffering from the "acid rot" that many yoke housings do. And the 21AXP22 is down to air (now). Once I had a horizontal line on the screen, but somewhere along the way, the CRT got bumped, so I will have to replace it before I can fix the set. But is is on my "to do" list.
