Eric,

Also on the Deluxe version the knobs are from the likes of 70, (rosette types).

Thanks.  I wondered about that.  As soon as I got home with the Deluxe  I checked out Ron's book on Philco radios that I keep on hand as a reference and realized the discrepancy.  I wonder if that's one of the reasons the thing only cost me $200.00 when none of the 20 Deluxe sets I've seen on Craigslist since in similar condition have been listed for less than $350.00?  I walked by that fellow who sells knobs at Kutztown more times than I can count last week; should have bought the proper knobs for it then.
