Glenn,

I don't remember what the knobs looked like.  I didn't have to work on 
repeaters and all I recall about them is that the SPA-4 didn't give the radar 
techs nearly as much grief as the SPA-8's.  Unless someone on the list 
actually remembers what all of the knobs looked like and has them, you are probably 
going to need photographs so that anyone with a knob junk box can look 
through it.  I have the NAVSHIPS on AN/SPA-4A.  If any of the repeaters still 
have some of the knobs, take a few photos and send it to me to compare to 
photos in the 4A manual.  If they are the same, I'll send you a copy of the 
photo showing all of the knobs that you can hand out.
