Nope, they're all there. Even the little knobs on the side fore brightness, etc. Thar black area on the large upper knob lights up and displays channel number. Thought you could see it in this pic but the camera didn't get it.

OK, it looked like there was a knob missing in that area. Although even your second picture yu posted didn't show the channel display very well...

That's why I mentioned the crappy phone camera didn't even capture it. I'll see if I can get better.

Yeah, well I found out last night that my Hitachi VCR I tried salvaging may be a lost cause, as its playing tapes too fast and it seems to be an issue that's beyond my expertise...

Can't get to it right now to plug it in. I guess you'd just have to be familiar with older sets like this. A lot of them had the tinted window in the knob. My 1955 floor model Zenith has the same window.

OK so basically when you tune in a station on on it it shows up in the window? That's kind of nifty. my grandparents had an old Zenith Chromacolor II set in their back bedroom that the color went out on it for some reason (and they never let me back there to take a look at it to see if I could figure out what was wrong with it) and it had the backlit channel display knobs on it.
