AT-1 Question

[Garey Barrell]

The 1955 Heath catalog shows the black knobs.  Since the AT-1 was made
from 51 through 56, I would say that the AT-1s with gray knobs are
much less common.  Of course, if we get into "rare", the gray knobs
are readily available!!

The VF-1 and the later DX series transmitter all had gray knobs.

Probably a case of Heath using Dakaware knobs until they got big
enough to have their "own" knobs custom made.
