Felt washers on around control shafts.
I figured this is a good a place for this question as any I can think of.
I've noticed felt washers or similar on the control shafts on old wood cabinet radios. What are they for? |

Possibly to keep the knob from marring the finish and to prevent a visual gap.

And to give something for your fishing flies to stick to when you start working on radios....

yep. Used a lot for hiding the bright metal washer & nut on the threaded control shaft you may otherwise see in the gap between the knob and panel opening. |

OK. That seems like that answers that one. I didn't think the felt would work to well to keep the dust out, since the cabinet is ventilated anyway.

It makes a finishing touch visually and keeps the knob from rubbing on the cabinet. I have bought new ones a few years ago from RadioDaze:
