Now you can safely display your 4-pin tubes without worry of having them get knocked over. The base is made of solid ivory-colored plastic, so it's heavy and the base is wide enough to keep if from tipping. There is a circular ring cut into the top for the pins to fit into.

Tube Stand: $5.00 each

Crosley Knobs & Push Buttons for Model 02CAConsole Radio (KPB-Crosley02)

These knobs and buttons are slightly translucent and a soft white. (Click on the picture on the right for a better view.) They are as close a match to originals that I can determine. Existing originals may look yellow-brown from age, but looking at the back one can see that they were originally a lightly tinted transparent white.

These knobs will not fit all of the 02 and 03 Crosley models. I'm still trying to determine which ones used these. These knobs were made for the model 02CA. I'm sure of that. I would appreciate information about other models that used these smaller, white knobs and buttons.

I included in the picture the arm that accepts one of the knobs. If the outer knob is a very tight fit over this arm in your radio, then it's the wrong knob and you need the brown bakelite knobs instead. If your radio presently has no knobs, it's very likely that they were the ones that deteriorated and these will replace them. The brown knobs didn't seem to deteriorate and were larger than these.

Knobs: The two knobs on the left side of the radio are locked together with a wooden peg that fits through a hole in both of them making them turn in unison. The right-hand knobs are the same, but with no peg they turn independently. Knobs come with one wooden peg and 2 spring clips for the inner knobs.

Push Buttons: These have a recess area on top so you can attach station call letter tabs. The buttons need no clips to hold them in place as the originals did. Just push them on and you're in business.

CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE ALREADY PURCHASED BUTTONS FROM ME will be able to send me the buttons previously purchased, and I'll sell you a matching knob and button set giving you credit for the original purchase price of the buttons. That way, you will have buttons that match your knobs.

Small Knob Dimensions: 1" diameter, 1/2" thick
Large Knob Dimensions: 1-1/4" diameter, 5/32" thick
Button Dimensions: face is 9/16" long, 5/16" wide, 1/2" thick, 3/16" slot.

Push Buttons for 1939 Zenith Radio (PBZ-Hook)

Hook Push Buttons for 1939 Zenith sets. Aged color for a close match of existing hooks. 5/16 in. x 5/16 in. x 1-1/8 in.

Set of 6 Buttons: $18.00

Set of 8 Buttons: $24.00

Push Buttons for 1939 Philco Sets (long)

(PBPh39LW)

Philco radios from 1939 used these Push Buttons. Likely used by models 39-25, 39-30, 39-31, 39-25, 39-35, 39-36, 108, and possibly others. Probably all Philco sets from 1939 that had the rectangular slide-rule dial. If you're not sure if your radio uses these, look in the parts list on the Rider's page for Philco part # 27- 4759.

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: 1-5/8" long, 7/16" square button, with a smaller dimension back. A rectangular slot in the bottom 3/16 in. long, by 1/16 wide, by 3/8 deep accepts the shaft. Press on fit.

Set of 8 Buttons: $34.00

Push Buttons for 1939 Philco Sets (mid-length)
(PBPH39MW)

These are shorter buttons than the one shown above. A few models in 1939 used these. Model 39-40, code 21, and model 39-45 use these buttons. I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know what other models used these. If you're not sure if your radio takes this style, check your old ones. Measure the existing button and look for metal spring clips inserted in the sides of the buttons.

To use these buttons, you should have the clips. I don't have any so you'll have to find your old ones, or make up some yourself. They may work OK without the clips.

Dimensions: 1-1/8 " long, 7/16" square button

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

Philco Wave Switch Lever (KPH-L)

This knob was used on most Philco radios from 1937 to 1938. Other years may also have used them. This lever is the knob used to switch between AM and Short Wave bands. Rider's manual schematics list this knob as #27-4326. If you are unsure if your radio uses this knob, look under Miscellaneous on the schematic sheets.

Here is a partial list of radios that use this knob:

1937: 11, 116, 610, 611, 623, 630, 640, 641, 643, 650, 651, 655, 660, 670, 675, 2670
1938: 1, 2, 3, 3-3, 116, 610, 620, 623, 630, 643, 690, 2670

These numbers may represent consoles, radio/record players, tombstones, cathedrals, or other table radios. The above numbers would be preceded by the last 2 digits of the year it was made, for example: 610 would be 37-610.

General Electric Large Fluted Knob with Pointer
(KGE-3)

Same as the knob above but larger. It's a little larger than a quarter. As with all my reproduction knobs, I try to come as close as possible with a color match to originals, but I can't exactly duplicate the color or dye pattern of Bakelite since these aren't made of Bakelite. The knobs will be close to original colors, but it may be obvious in good light that they are repros.

Dimensions: 1-1/8" diameter, 5/8" thick

Zenith 800 Series Knob with Indicators
$23.00 each

The "generic" knobs below were used on many small radios, either wood or Bakelite, mostly referred to as "Midget" radios. Many of these radios were sold through catalogs. There is often a "license" metal tag on the rear of the chassis. Most were made by a "supplier" manufacturer such as Warwick, Clinton, International Radio, Consolidated Radio and Television ("CR&TC") and many others. Most have the brand name on a brass badge on the front of the radio. This way the name was easy to change for whatever brand the retailer wanted. Some names were World, General, Deluxe, Harmony, etc. "Emerson" was probably the largest company in this "Midget" field.

Philco RF Chassis Isolation/Support Grommets
(GPH-RF)

Here's a part I'll bet you can use. These are silicone isolation grommets for Philco chassis such as the 37-610. This chassis has a separate RF sub-chassis mounted in the center of the main chassis, and it's suspended there by three of these grommets. The grommets are usually hard as rock and crumbling. These grommets are the right size, right hardness, and look aged.
Note: The Philco Radiobar 37-61 uses a similar part but these are a little too thick These can be used if you jam them in.

These are silicone isolation grommets for Philco chassis such as the 38-690. This chassis is like the described above, but the holes for the grommets are smaller. These grommets are a little taller so they reach into the hole farther. Probably fits a 37-690 too, but I don't have one here to use to verify it.

Dimensions: 1" diameter, 3/4" smaller diameter, 7/16" total thickness , 1/4" hole.

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.

Dimensions: 1-1/2" length, 5/8" width, 1/2 " height,

Shadow Meter Mask: $6.00

RCA Tuner Friction Roller (RCA-roller)

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" diameter, 7/16" thick

1 RCA Friction Roller: $8.00

RCA 45 RPM RECORD CHANGER PARTS

Motor Mount Grommets for RCA Changers
(RCA-motor)

These small grommets cushion the motor at its mountings so that it doesn't transfer vibrations to the needle. They are a soft gum-rubber type of urethane; just what you need to let your player reproduce the recorded sound rather than the rumble from the mechanism.

Dimensions: 1/2" diameter, 3/8" thick, 1/4" top hole, 5/16" bottom hole

3 RCA Motor Grommets: $7.00

Cone Supports for RCA 45 Record Changers
(RCA-cone)

These flexible cones support the changer mechanism inside the cabinet. They are stiff enough to support the weight, yet flexible enough to still reduce vibrations that can be transmitted to the pickup.

Dimensions: 5/8" diameter at the base, 19/32" thick, 13/32" wide at the top, 1/4" hole

3 RCA Cones: $7.00

4 Rubber Feet: $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.

Dimensions: 5/8" thick, 2-1/2" gap in bottom, 3-3/4" between top hole and plug, 4-1/2" between bottom holes

Dashboard Gasket: $12

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

Back In Stock!!!

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 or alcohol, 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: $42.00

RCA TRK-12 Television Mask (TRKmask)

Reproduction mask for the beautiful TRK-12. You may not need one right now, but wouldn't it be nice to have a spare in case yours deteriorates or gets damaged. Made to match originals in size and density. Color is an ivory-white, slightly on the yellow side.

1 Mask: $250

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.)
