I am after a good close-up photo of the correct knobs for a Philips 122A please. Also the diameter of the knob.

That is the closest I have come across so far. To be honest though, I know the knobs on the white receiver are AWA knobs and I am not sure about the ones on the left. I seem to remember many of the Philips sets of this era having knobs with five or six larger scallops rather than the ones seen there.

I'll keep looking.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

I am sure that the knobs were more likely the type shown in this picture.
