I forgot what brand tuner GE used but the strips would break
& grind up the others. Usually you could pull strips from a
junker & save the day. GE knobs were just plain cheap.
We sold more of them than any other. Also on the C-2 ??
chassis 18 /19" sets the tuner bracket was plastic & would
dry up leaving the tuner falling into the set. It was a stocked
item. You get what you pay for.................
