Mark, I might have some, I'll have to check when I get home.

Remind me if you don't hear from me later.

Do you know if these are the ones that are cone shaped with splines and the outer ring has a bevel on the inside diameter like a number of 49-50 RCA's used?

They might look like the ones on a 2T51: http://www.vintagetvsets.com/2t51.htm

Yes, the T-100 does use those cone shaped knobs. You can see them on Phil's set: http://www.antiqueradio.org/art/RCAT-100FirstLook01.jpg

The 8T241 uses the same knobs.

Didn't kx250rider say he had a bunch of them in your previous thread

Pardon the grime, but here is what my knobs look like... note that the volume has the center and outer ring in one piece, and the fine tuning shaft is larger than the ones for "horizontal" and "picture".

I have a lot of the small ones (those shaped like a "Rolo") but note that 2 different shafts were used, one larger than the other. If I dug through all my knobs I could maybe come up with everything, but the chances of me getting around to doing it are pretty slim!

Here's what I have.

These appear to be darker than jr-tech's knobs, closer to black than brown, they have a gold ring on the outer knobs and they may be from a T-120.

I have the two pairs that should fit the first two shafts left to right, I don't have the third one that is a one piece knob but looks like a two piece, I also don't have that channel selector or escutcheon though I do have a similar channel selector that may also be from a 120.

If the fine tuning is the same as the other small knobs with a 1/8" shaft then I have one.

Is everyone confused yet?

If I may add to the confusion, the knobs on my t-120 are brown, with no gold trim.

"If the fine tuning is the same as the other small knobs with a 1/8" shaft then I have one."

On my T-100 the fine tuning has a 1/4" shaft. The major difference that I see between it and my T-120 is the Ch selector... on the 120 the fine tuning ring is concentric with the selector... on the T-100 the Ch selector has a similar ring molded to it (in the same vein as the volume knob) and the separate cone shaped fine tuning. Hope this is not too confusing.

Radiola:

I was able to rummage and actually come up with a complete set. The flash from the camera alters the color a bit but they match what is on my T-100. They will need a little polishing up though. I'll also respond to your PM.
