Many thanks! Yes, that makes sense that the image in the add would have been inverted. And you're right about the knob's position. It appeared much higher when I blew up the photo.drh wrote:...It's hard to tell from the photo, given the high perspective, but I think the knob's height in the original posting's photograph may be roughly in line with that in the advertisement. Moreover, I think the drawing in the advertisement may be mirror imaged, which would explain the direction of the door opening; it doesn't seem to have a crank on the right, where one certainly would be in real life, and as shown the door would open "backwards" to what one would expect in a world of predominantly right-handed consumers (and contrary to the direction for both single-doored machines in my collection). Might make sense if Sonora was touting "no tubes to change" as a selling point; a crank would just emphasize that we're talking old tech here, not that shiny, new, exciting radio stuff.
