Super 12 Chasis - Late 7 knob version

I just posted about Brown Plastic Philly knobs. I posted a photo in the forum as a JPG with my question).
The knobs you have may be what I need....not sure.
If so...can they be bought separately?
Thanks.

Restorable Philharmonic for sale
Posted on July 4, 2024 at 4:45pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I have a pretty decent pointer dial Philharmonic, with the midwest station dial (new replacement, original was cracked). The set is complete and chrome is very decent, this set will turn out great with a good cleaning and restoration. Includes a full set of tubes (the smaller 6L6 tubes are GA, not G, couldn't find 4 matching ones). Amp has some rust but is also cleanable. And we have a good 15 in pedestal speaker with it.
I will not ship this, but will meet you or deliver…

I've been working on several Philly sets and I am really just appreciating all the differences in the various sets. So the earliest ones had a series of 5 capacitors which are switched across the plates of the P-P expander tubes. This feature was changed to a treble control and also removed if you had a remote control chassis. I need to know what the rotating switch looked like for the assembly shown here:…

Hi Mr. King- I trust you have seen many of the customer cabinets that EH Scott customers commissioned in the 1930. I a trying to identify if this cabinet originally has EH Scott electronics installed in it. If not, any ideas?
Thanks you, Bill Whelan

Kent;
I hope this attachment works. I finished the composite figures 26 and 30 for the Late version 800B. I found this helpful in tracing out the electric tuning arrangement of the 800B receivers.
Joe
If this turns out to not be satisfactory resolution and detail, let me know and I will try sending the *.pdf file which is 5.3MB.

Kent;
I took a closer look at the Late 800B parts radio tuner chassis that I have. It is SN 6182 and I found its final test stamp inside the preset tuning assembly backplate and the date is Jan 15, 1947. So that one can be added to your database.
I took the time to take a good photo of the Late version 800B AM SW RF compartment underneath. This unit has never had any parts replaced in that area, so this part of it is unmolested. I had just noticed that the Early version SN 1035 that I have had already been worked on and there were some changes to bypass capacitor placement that I do not agree with. My intent is to put it back as close to original lead dress and parts placement as possible. Sometimes changes in part placement and lead dress can cause significant problems to develop and result in inability to properly align RF circuits.

Yes I am willing to contribute these for fellow members and others use. I enjoy doing this type of work. I was originally in product documentation at Collins Radio which included doing schematics.
