I suggest you post for some knobs. I just traded an NOS part for some "D" line knobs so I am sure there some out there. You may have better luck than buying a whole TV and the shipping will be much less. The "Bar-over-knob" assembly will be a lot to hope for. Pictures from a benevolent owner would be very helpful.

I do remember one or two blonde 123s. They used lighter colored knobs.

:thmbsp:

Sure: There are five sets of vent slots for a total of ten slots. The first set (of two slots) begins 1.5-inches down from the top of the cabinet. The top of the next set of vent slots begins one inch below the top of the first set, and so forth to the last set.

The vent slot opening is 1/2-inch and the real estate between vent slots is 1/2 inch. [see note 1] Vents themselves are 7.5 inches end-to-end.

Vents in a given set are separated (horizontally) by two inches.

Vents are located only on one side of the cabinet. The other side, however, has a port for accessing 21AXP22 convergence magnets. This port is a 16-inch wide by 6 13/16-inch deep rectangle located five-inches down from the top of the cabinet and flush with the front of the cabinet.

Finally, the odd-size speaker openings, which can't represent anything but some screwball marketing hype idea, are 2-3/4 by 7-3/4 vertical slots. Each speaker opening has a round 8-in. pm speaker behind it.

Note 1: If you want to be exact, the actual vent slot opening is 9/16 inch with 7/16 inch of real estate between.

Philco called the screwball marketing hype:

"Phonorama Acoustic Lens System"
