#1

Hello: I'm restoring a Philco 52-1731 cabinet and am missing 2 of the 4 tuning knobs. Any suggestions on where to obtain 2 of these could be much appreciated. Images of the knobs are attached. Thanks!

Philco Knobs & Pushbuttons (original)

David Frush (original and NOS knobs, including many for Philco sets)

Julie McCall - Original knobs for Philco and other radios.

Kelton Trammell - Original knobs for Philco and other radios.

Mark Oppat's Old Radio Parts

Mike Koste - Gobs of Knobs

Here at the Philco Phorum we have a Resource section has listed parts and services available for Philco sets.
Personally have had dealings w/ Julie and Mike both are top notch!

Welcome to the Phorum.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!

Or you could keep your eyes open for a smashed early 50s Philco plastic radio or junker radio-phono combo, many of those use the same style of knobs.
