Nice set Tim! I have a 709 that was my first early TV find 40 years ago. The knobs are actually quite common and look similar to the VT71 knobs. The tuning knob is the most unique as it has a little brass dot for the indicator.

You can see what the knobs looked like in an original brochure I scanned:

That is a great find! It's is one of the rarest and most sought after of the 7" postwar sets, and one of the most attractive. The bowed front and the large mask makes it unique. The console version is even rarer. I personally know of only one blonde and one mahogany version existing.
Good luck getting the knobs. With the Internet it shouldn't be too difficult.

The Admiral knobs really look quite attractive on that.
