Vanco, a secondary supplier, had no problem sourcing GE knobs - GE tried to find out where in the supply chain they were getting real GE knobs. Vanco went to the plastics place making the knobs - and ordered in quantity. GE made the plastics place stop selling to aftermarket folks, only to dry up knobs in general. Our knob box was our savior a few times.

Oh yes, I noticed the numbering difference on the NOS knobs. At first I was evaluating the possibility of this being a lighting issue.
I see that GE supplied the cabinet base of a 19V set as well. Why not, it simplified final assembly. Last edited by Jon A.; 07-02-2017 at 09:35 AM. |

After wiping away a little more dirt I found out the CRT is GE-made as well (EIA 188-23). Seems as if they supplied everything other than the cabinet and yoke, and maybe the blue lateral.

I was gonna do this in a PM, but it's germane to a BUNCH of GE and Bradford sets:
http://www.americanradiohistory.com/...TD-1980-11.pdf Page 8/9 have a ton of 19QB tips, straight from GE. Other chassis included are YA, YC, JA, QA, QB

GE used to request dud parts back for testing from time to time. For your trouble they gave you nice tip books etc. There training manuals were the best of quality & deepest theory wise. AND they fed you a full diner at the seminars. You were lucky to get water from the Japs. GE could really get things right when they wanted but knobs, gears & cabinet parts they never mastered. Seemed to get the wrong thing half the time. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

Awesome, thanks. It is an oddity compared to others I've seen.
