I've never seen another 21" table model like that one, but I was fortunate to get the chassis from a 25" GE KE chassis console someone wanted only the cabinet from. This was about 1979, so we were still using the TV and that gave me a full set of tubes and knobs. I think I used both of those knobs. Cheap plastic things, they were. The volume knob was metal and never broke.
I posted it in the Apollo 11 thread where you already saw it, but I don't mind posting it again for the others who haven't. I always liked the "blackout" UHF tuner slide rule dial that only lit up when tuned to UHF. It was red and blue.
And about the green picture, I tried adjusting the color balance with a B&W picture years ago, but it made only a little difference. It was before the cataract appeared around the edges. I don't think I ever noticed that until after it had been at my house in a better lit room than our den at home.
