Very nice radio, congrats!One of my most recent buys, a General Electric GE HJ-612 tube radio. My only gripe is it's missing one of its original knobs, other than that, I actually love how rough and aged it is, crooked grill, missing glass and all. It does work though, I'm told, although I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail.

This guy might help with any parts you might want. Those radios play great when they are in good working order.

Someone shared that with me when I started collecting radios so it is my responsiblity to pass on the information now.
I hope they have what you need. The best thing to do is take a picture of the knob and then email them for a match. They have no idea what a knob from a specific model looks like as there were just too many made through the years. I agree with liking the "well-used" look of the old radio. It brings back good memories since most of the radios, lamps, and stuff in general in our house had that sort of look.

I don't suppose there'll be Telefunken knobs in stock

Take a picture of what you want and email it to them. They will let you know if they have it or who might have it if they don't.

Vintage Philips Christmas lights, 40-50's maybe. Can't find these particular. There is moldy insulation, wiring must be replaced.

That is a neat set of lights you scored. Yeah I would not trust the wiring wither, but you can get new cloth covered wiring so it will still look original.

Pity it was probably not intended for indoor use.

Don't scare me, it'll be fine. The cord is really in the bad shape though.
