Vacuum advance knob

We had one of those too. I think it was a Channel Master?
Anyway, funny how my question about the vacuum advance knob side tracked to a TV's tuning knob. All good stuff here.
I remember as a child, up at 6-7am East Coast time, parents fast asleep, turning on the black and white tv, turning the knob looking for cartoons and it seemed every channel was showing another NASA rocket taking off. Where's my cartoons! It's saturday morning, cartoon time. lol

...and don't forget when the TV stations signed off at night we got to see a salute to the armed forces...all good stuff.
 
The 'knob' in question is referred to by Lucas themselves as a 'micrometer adjustment' facility which gives an idea of the very fine adjustment it brings. Just set it in the middle and leave it alone.
