Even on the COLD sets? I though that fil v. was only in the HOT sets. ?

17DRP4 has the low volt filament. If rebuilt could be higher and pin out could be different.

Like the red back cover. I found SAMS for the princess online, it's cool how this design has some quality features and wasn't pared down to the
Bone like my admiral TV.

Nope, sorry, no reproduction knobs are made Several NOS replacement contrast and volume knobs were on ebay recently so they are out there.

Looks like there's a few places online where I can get a generic concentric knob sets with set screws, which will have to do until the real thing appears. The thought crossed my mind to steal the antenna from my Admiral... maybe I better not do that
