Can anyone take a close-up photo of the knobs used on the 1954 Halolight? Model numbers could be 372, 373, 375,376,or 377. Mine are missing and I need to know what to look for. Thanks in advance.

Tim, I've got some knobs I pulled off a junk H-light but I don't know what model it was, early - mid 50's though.
Can you post a pic of your set?

Eric:

Thanks for the reply. I can't get a decent photo of my set at this time but I did a bit of searching on AK and lo and behold Charlie posted a photo of the exact set in an older thread. Here it is - thanks Charlie.

Tim, my set was a tabletop model but the basic layout was similar.

Here are a couple pics, the knobs are about 3 1/8" across at the largest.
I have the center knobs somewhere but can't find them at the moment. They have the Sylvania S in the center I think.

Thanks very much Eric but I don't think those look correct. Hopefully someone can post a close-up of the actual knobs.

Tim,

I am at work on the ship right now... and probably wont be home for a few more weeks. If no one else has a close up of the knobs by that time, I will shoot a photo for you. It is possible that I might have an extra fine tuner knob... but not for sure. I will check when I get home.

Tim, here are some shots of the knobs in question. The volume on the left side of the tv is the same as the channel selector... but without the numbers. Contrast is the same as the fine tuner.

Charlie... Looking at the pic you took reminds me of something:

You have any use for these? Oddly enough I just listed them on Ebay (for the zillionth time). I've heard a lot of good about you off-list.. helping others and all, so if they don't sell I could offer them to you for shipping.

'course you could offer me any unwanted roundie Zeniths, seeing as how TVs appearantly grow on trees and doorsteps where you live. :)
