I picked up this little airline combo about 30 years ago when our town was having a spring clean up, the cabinet looks almost new however, the TV & Radio chassis were gone along with the 45 player. I'm thinking about getting this back together as I've always wanted one. Imagine my surprise when I found this in the corner of my storage room. I forgot I even had it. The best part is the glass dial is in near factory condition and the finish will come up nicely with a little Howards. I seem to remember the knobs are hard to come by. Does anyone know what's Sam's this would be in also what chassis for the TV & radio,? I have a 45 player but I'm not sure if its the exact one.

The TV is just a Sentinel TV400 but it also has a separate chassis for the Radio that is wired into it. The 45 player is an RP168 like the one in this photo.

The knobs are similar to Philco Knobs of the era.
