Today's load

Brought home some good stuff today. There was a cute little RCA set that I listed in the b&w section.

But even better.... brought home tons of knobs still on the cards! I think I had 4 milkcrates of NOS knobs, and two smaller boxes of loose knobs. It seems they're from the late 40's thru early 60's. I went thru them briefly and it looks like they're mainly channel selectors and fine tuners. I sorted thru some of them and filled one milk crate with only RCA knobs. There are many RCA channel selectors similar in style to CTC7 thru 11 sets.

It will probably be at least a week before I get around to sorting them out. I think I will try boxing them by tv brand. Looks like they are mainly RCA, GE, Motorola, Crosley, Westinghouse, Admiral, and Philco. I do not recall seeing many Zenith knobs. Once I get some kind of list going, I'll let you guys know in case there's something in there ya'll can use. I'm sure there will be. At that time, I'll probably put a thread in the TV Partswap forum.

Many of the knobs on cards are quite dirty, and many with mildew. They should clean up well. Looks like those cards sat in that box for many many years before I found them.
