56 Philco

[Don Lindsly]

There are several types of bar-over-knob assemblies for the 55-56 Philcos. One type snaps in place. He other is held on by two Phillips screws. Both accommodate 4 knobs. (Color and 440 are totally different.)The markings would be incorrect if you used the wrong type. The snap-on won't interchange with the screw-on without changing the mounting bracket.

Some control knobs were different shapes so the B-O-K piece will only fit on the knobs for which it is designed. I believe the 301 series uses longer knobs that are smaller in diameter. I don't remember what the 330 uses.

To compound the matter, there is also a variety of colors. I believe yours is the screw-on with longer knobs. If so, nothing I have will work. If they are the thin flat knobs, I may have something to fit if you live with mis-marked control functions. Do you have the original or can you post a picture of the knobs?
