Identifying Rogers tombstone radio- plus knob question- please help.

[Jeffrey Lilly]

Hello,
I recently acquired this nifty Rogers tombstone, and despite a lot of browsing and searching I have not been able to come up with the model number.
It has six tubes and uses an 80 rectifier and 41 output. I can get the other types if necessary.
Also, the bandswitch knob is missing. If anyone has a lead on one for this set, I’d appreciate it. I’m going to assume it’s probably rare and hard to get, of course.
Thank you for any assistance!

Hi Jeffery. I sent you a PM about the knob and I am pretty sure I have one.
I most likely have the schematics for the radio also.

If you look at the metal plate on the back of the radio it will probably tell you the TYPE of radio.
Rogers had a sort of funny way of naming some of the radios.
Some went by the model and some went by the type.
If we know the type MAYBE we can find it,

Type is 4621

I will also search using that information. Thank you!

Update: That’s the model number! Model 4621. Found some more photos of it, as well as schematics. Thank you again!

Here is a you tube video of that radio

It is always nice to find the information you need.

Nice indeed! Mine will end up on the bench at some point for a restoration. In the meantime, it looks like the bandswitch knob is identical to the other two at the bottom, and not a specialized lever type as I feared. Do you need the shaft measurement, the knob diameter, or both to see if you have the correct one?
Thank you again,
Jeff

Hi Jeff;
I would need both measurements because there are some knobs that look the same but are larger or smaller.
Does yours have a set screw or is it push on?
Post a photo of your knob and I can get a better idea.
