Thanks Gary. I had suspected that when I inspected the chassis bore for the RF Tune shaft. I has no discoloration or friction marks to indicate that a vernier was ever stripped out. I had thought about scrounging a vernier and knob set from a junker T-4X, but now I think I will keep it authentic. Looks like we have the same vintage R-4A.
