>Based upon the knobs, it's some kind of RCA..

RCA did some knock-offs of WECo consoles for KHJ.

KHJ still had its WECo phasor and a 1 kW WECo auxiliary in the mid-1960s.

The main had been changed to an RCA 5.

All the consoles at KHJ-AM/FM/TV were changed to custom RCAs, which were 
based, functionally and physically, on their WECo predecessors.

Beautiful consoles, actually.

The knobs were perfect imitations of the WECo originals.

Even Altec-Lansing, which got all the WECo audio input gear [ * ] did not 
do justice to the original WECo knobs.

RCA got these right. And so also did Langevin.


[ * ] Except for any and all audio input gear intended for the motion 
picture industry, which Litton, my former employer in another lifetime, 
got by its acquisition of AT&T's Westrex Corp subsidiary.
