[Hammarlund] HQ-129X Knobs

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

To add just a bit more, every unmodified HQ-129X I've seen has pointer
knobs that are slightly different than the typical, more common
'chickenhead' bakelite knobs seen on so many things. The ones on the HQ
have a more....'streamline' look, or (dare I say it?) 'Deco'? They're
more rounded overall.
