Hi, Ron, Poston and all : I am back agian breifly . The knob shafts have a flat spot 1/2 -9/16 " The person who sold me the phono may also send knobs .I tried my knobs from 41-280 and no go .Eventually this will work out .Ron I still think the second set of knobs looks right .But if you had any doubt I will pass on them for now. I still have not seen a decent current photo of this unit. The damage to the phono is just to the changer portion and really sounds like a rubber bushing that has rotted.

On the Caps I looked quick and did not see the black line cap housing of the prewar sets ,although I still could miss it . It figures they are there. There are a couple cans on top .I should have everything on order and the rest in left overs anyway. I noticed the caps buried under the wafer switch ! As suggested that need a little rough ,but is possible. I am sure I will have more questions as I try to get to the phono section working . One thing I did find that is interesting while I cleaned the chasis is this.

Under the 7F8 tube there are four peices of rubber tape between the tube and the chasis. As soon as I saw this I recalled reading about it (maybe here ?) .All I recall is they seem to be there for a purpose . Any Clues ? It is a short locktal tube and right now I do not have the print in front of me. So not sure what it does. Apparently this is on all of these sets ?

Thanks again , I am learning some stuff here !
