Televisions: TRK-9, TRK-90, TRK-12, TRK-120, maybe U46, and K130

These are 1938 and 1939 sets. They may fit 1940 and 1941 sets too.

Set of 10 Buttons: $80.00

Crosley Push Buttons Model 02CA, 02CB, 03CB Console Radio (PB-Crosley)

Push Buttons for 1939 Philco Sets (wine or brown color)

If you purchase these, you might consider also buying the Philco Corner Chassis Mounts listed below. Usually, the old mounts are squashed and don't hold the chassis up as high as it should be causing the control shafts and buttons to not line up with the holes in the cabinet and bezel.

Dimensions: These are 1-5/8 inches long by 1/2 by 1/2 with a rectangular slot in the bottom 3/16 in. long, by 1/16 wide, by 3/8 deep.

Reproduction Knobs

Knobs for Heathkit Tube Tester IT-17 (KHT17)

The IT-17 uses either one or the other style of this knob. The one pictured on the left has an indent on the top, the one on the right is crowned instead of indented. Check your tester to make sure you purchase the correct style. These are just like the originals. They may fit loosely requiring a tiny bit of glue to hold them in place. All my original ones on my tester were loose.

Dimensions: length 9/16", width 1/2"

$2.00 each

RCA Knobs for RR-359 Television (KRCARR359)

These are knobs for the early RCA television model RR-359. They come complete with slotted set screw. Three colors (black, ivory, brown) are available since early photographs of the TV sometimes show ivory, sometimes brown or black knobs. If you order them, be aware that they probably will not match aged original knobs, so you might want to order a full set.

RCA RR-359 Knob: $10.00 each

color

Knob for RCA 9X561 (KRCA-1)

Width 1-1/2 in., shaft is 5/8 in. long., knob is 1 in. long overall, fits a 1/4 inch half-round shaft.

Replacement "Acorn" knobs for Emerson "Snow White" Radio (KEM-1)

These are knobs for a "Snow White" Radio, model BM-247, DB-247, or Q-236. The knobs are reproductions taken from originals and cast in resin. They are in the shape of cute little acorns and even have the wood grain showing in them as if they were made of wood like the originals. The color is a dark brown, and is set in the resin, not painted on. These are made to be pressed onto the half-round shafts and are a snug fit, so they won't be coming off easily.

$29.95 for the pair

Small Knob for Philco 20 (KPH-1)

The Philco model 20 has one large knob and two small knobs below it. These knobs are the small knobs. They control on/off and volume. They come with spring clips to hold them onto the shaft.

They are a very dark brown, more like black than brown. The camera made them look brown. The smaller knob sits in the recess in the larger knob. Sold as a pair only.

These are reproduction knobs for the Zenith tombstone radios with the chrome design over the grill cloth.

Reproduction Rubber Parts

Rubber Feet for Crosley "Dashboard" Radios (FCR)
(Models D-25, and 10-135 through 10-140,11-120 U through 11-125 U, and E-15. Maybe other models too.)

These rubber feet are shaped just like the originals were. If you have cracked, hardened, feet on your Crosley radio, or if the feet are missing, you might want to consider using these. They will protect your furniture, and make your radio look more authentic. Just push the small end into the existing hole and twist. The foot will pop in and stay in. It helps to wet the end so it slips in easier.

4 for $9.00

These grommets are the right size, right hardness, and look aged.

Dimensions: width 1-1/8, smaller width 7/8, total thickness 5/16, hole 3/16 inch.

Grommets: $6.00 for three

Philco Model 18 Rubber Foot

Grommets: $1.00 each

Philco Chassis Corner Mounts (CHMPH)

These rubber mounts are located on the four corners of the chassis and keep it suspended giving the chassis some "wiggle room" to prevent the tubes from being jarred by someone bumping the radio. These new corners mounts will bring your chassis back up to the correct height and your control shafts will then be centered in the cabinet holes instead of rubbing on the bottoms of the holes.

Found on models: 1935 models and 37-62-T, 38-4, 38-7, 38-9, 39-25, 39-30, 39-40, 40-30  40-50, 40-180, 40-150, 40-155, 40-180, 40-185, 40-190, 41-285, 41-295, 41-296, 42-39, 42-355 and more,  Philco television 48- 700, and probably other models. If anyone knows of any other models that use them, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.

Corner Mounts: 4 for $9.00

Philco Shadow Meter Mask (PSM)

If you've discovered some nasty black goop on the inside of your radio cabinet that has dripped down over the dial, tuner, and chassis, it's probably all that's left of the original shadow meter mask. This mask goes over the light-box end of the meter. It acts as a bumper against the front of the cabinet and also seals the opening so light goes where it's intended.

Shadow Meter Mask: $6.00

Crosley "Battery Fiver" model 548 Tuner Grommets (TG1Crosley)

These grommets probably fit multiple model numbers from the 1939 era. The tuning capacitor assembly is supported by three of these.

Airline "Movie Dial" Grommets. (MDGrom)

The bracket that holds the actual movie dial mechanism over the tuning capacitor is held in place by two grommets that go through the front of the chassis. If yours are destroyed by time, as most of them are, here's a perfect replacement for them. No need to fudge it with messy silicone caulk.

Dimensions: base is 1 x 3/4 in., narrower part is 3/4 x 1/2 in. , slot is 7/16 in. wide

Movie Dial Grommets

$9.50/pair

RCA Chassis Support Grommet (Grca)

Dimensions: 1 x 1/2, 1/2 in. hole



4 RCA Support Grommets
$8.00

RCA Tuner Friction Roller (RCAroller)

Used on model K60, K80, and probably others.

This friction roller presses against the tuning shaft pulley. The friction against the pulley face allows the tuning knob to turn the tuning shaft. These are frequently cracked, hardened, deformed, and the hole stripped out, causing slippage. This new roller is a very tight press-fit. A little glue, and a good tight fit should keep this from slipping for years. Made of hard urethane rubber.

Dimensions: 5/8" wide, 7/16" thick

1 RCA Friction Roller: $8.00

Crosley "Dashboard" Speaker Gasket (GCrosley)

Frequently, the gasket between the speaker and the case is very hard and brittle, and may have pieces missing from it. If you are putting one of these fine radios back into working order, why not replace the gasket with a new, supple, rubber one. Just pull out three retainers, and push this one in place, pop in the old retainers, and your radio will thank you.



Dashboard Gasket: $12

Motorola Television Mask for Models VT-71, etc. (VTmask)

These are the long awaited masks to replace those rock hard or melted masks from years ago. Pictured on the right is an original mask, and on the left is the reproduction. Both masks are made of foam material with a smooth skin surface.

The back side is cupped to fit over the CRT, just like the original. (The mold was made from an original that was still in good condition.)

Click on the picture to see a larger view.

The originals were spray painted with a gray paint around the visible part of the mask. My reproductions are tinted in the manufacturing process to a gray, making it unnecessary to paint them.

Installation note: It may be difficult to get the CRT to seat into the depression on the back of the mask. Try using water, K-Y jelly, or some other lubricant that dries quickly. You don't want to use Vaseline or something else that will stay on the rubber for a long time as the rubber may be adversely affected by it over time.

1 Mask: $38.00

1937 Philco Tone/Power Switch Repair Service

Got a 1937 Philco 610, 620, 630... with a broken AC switch/tone control shaft like the one in the picture? They get broken at the weakest point, the place where the retaining clip sits in the groove cut into the shaft.

New controls and even used controls are nearly nonexistent, but you can have the control repaired.

Pull the switch out and send it to me. I'll disassemble it, make a new shaft for it, rivet the shaft to the wiper, clean the controls, and reassemble it. You'll be good to go in no time. Actually, in about a week. Cost is $25 which includes shipping from me back to you. Send me an e-mail before you send the control to me and we'll get it started. (1940 and 1950 Philco's may also have the same size shafts.)
