Scott Philharmonic Pointer Dial Front Panel

[Don Jackson]

Hi, I am a new member here and recently had the good fortune to acquire a 5 knob Allwave 23 with a Tasman cabinet and a Pointer Dial Philharmonic chassis, amplifier and speaker. The Allwave 23 project is almost complete now, and I would like to make a wood front for the pointer dial Philharmonic similar to the one shown in the Collectors Guide. The layout for the front panel is shown in the archive, does anyone know what the actual dimensions of the wood front panel should be? I could probably make something close to the proper size, but would be nice to have exact measurements.

Also, this Philharmonic has a nice set of knobs but I think they are from a later model. Were the knobs shown in the photos ever used on the pointer dial sets?

The closer spaced knobs accommodated more cabinet designs.

Has anybody ever asked - or answered the question: Why did they put the controls so close together? They had space to separate them.

I had considered that as the most likely answer. But, the large chassis is still behind the escutcheon/cabinet front. There would have had to be a cabinet with extra big decorative work for that to apply. Is there one like that? (other than the 1-ofs)

Fingers are not as accurate as they were a while ago. If I trip over the cat again, none of my thumbs will work, And to think that I started off with 10 of them.

P.S. Cat is fine. Still waits in ambush for me. Only he is a lot bigger now.
