This TV as I had stated previously had sat in an old abandoned farm house that its roof had collapsed on it 20 years prior and the TV sat in those conditions for 20 years prior to it being found by the person I had gotten the TV from.

The TV's Cabinet is actually in immaculate condition and was just really dirty despite it sitting in the conditions it had sat in for as long as it had, the undercarriage of the TV is also extremely clean for the conditions the TV had sat in.

Unfortunately the Westinghouse Radio I had gotten from the same person which came out of the same place wasn't so lucky and its cabinet was trashed but oddly enough even inspite of a little rust on the chassis (which cleaned right off with some #00 grade steel wool) the radio still worked flawlessly.

Unfortunately it seems that finding the correct knobs for this TV is going to be quite tricky even with fleabay, which I found a few knobs on there that looked like a close match to the original Channel Selector knob and volume/on/off switch but nothing exactly like the original knobs, and also there didn't seem to be any channel selector escutcheons for sale on fleabay like the one I needed.
