Hi All.

Recently I received a box of early television knobs.
Mainly Channel knobs and fine tune knobs. Most are very old, from 1956 to around 1960.

There are some that I have never seen before.
One channel knob is marked for Sydney stations, TCN, ATN, and strangely, ABC rather than ABN

I need help to identify them. In the past I have used the Radio Parts (Group) catalogue. The one covering the years 1973, 1974, and 1975.

That catalogue does not cover much of the earliest knobs.

Does anyone have an earlier version of the radio parts catalogue, and can sent me photos, or scans of the TV knobs section and part numbers?

Thanks.

Wayne.
