2 piece knobs? - EH Scott Radio Enthusiasts2024-03-28T15:20:36Zhttps://ehscott.ning.com/forum/topics/2-piece-knobs?feed=yes&xn_auth=noThey are all either on sets,…tag:ehscott.ning.com,2022-07-29:3925821:Comment:1258372022-07-29T12:23:00.457ZScott Seickelhttps://ehscott.ning.com/profile/ScottSeickel
<p>They are all either on sets, or are going to be on a set that is in the works. The only "extras" I have right now is a full Masterpiece set with all escutcheons. I won't break that up. They do occasionally come up on Ebay, buy you could be looking for a long time. I would suggest just using plastic knobs at least for now. The earlier Philharmonics used plastic. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Pat Taylor said:…</cite></p>

<p>A number of radio cabinets with intricate detail resembling carving were actually made of repwood - a sawdust and glue like combination formed under high pressure. Crosley had a number of early 1930s cabinets with fronts made of it - like the <em>Buddy Boy</em> and <em>Elf.</em> And also a 1930 FADA lowboy I had with front panel made of it. I retrofitted a Scott Masterpiece into that cabinet and discovered what that control panel was really made of. Stained and finished it appears like wood, but with time and humidity, it warps and distorts.</p>
<p>Maybe the word to the wise is avoid water and use paint thinner on Scott "S" knobs for a cleaning agent and then stain and spray lacquer for appearance. I have in my knob collection a knob just like the "S" knob but without the "S" and otherwise all the same pattern detail.</p>
