I agree knobs are not stock. I believe this may have been a repair shop error or factory error. Are they catalin? I started the cap replacement tonight, checked the tubes last night and had 4 that needed to be replaced. Had all but one on hand. Long process but it will be worth it.

Mine are like Bandersens above. The small knobs are a red plastic with a little brass colored metal insert. The big clear one for the channel tuning is just clear plastic. There is an auction on ebay right now for a whole set. I need one and am going to be bidding pretty hard. Your welcome to the rest if I do win. If you are going to bid I would ask that you please just let me know. There is no reason we should start a bidding war between us. LOL

I'm already bidding on those but only need one of the red knobs and have no desire to get into a bidding war with you guys either. I already have a couple spare channel knobs if either of you are interested you can have them. Also, those recessed numbers are easy to bring back to life with a little black lacquer stick paint.

P.S. I don't think there's anything wrong with using the knobs you have. After all, they are a complete set of Motorola knobs from a very similar model.

With a good cabinet, it may be possible to make a mold of that face now so Banderson can reconstruct the face of his shattered Moto.

With electrolytic capacitors, you can use the same (or somewhat higher) value for capacitance and voltage. Don't go lower. Don't go crazy. For example, replacing 20 mfd with 22 is fine; replacing 20 mfd with 100 is silly.
