Re: Radios with motor tuning units
Superb sets - I acquired one around age 10, from a friendly neighbour. The magic eye seemed indeed magical (or sci-fi) to me. I used to mess its beam around with TV ring magnets (probably blasting myself with X-rays...). I impressed my school friends with it, especially the power of the motor - many could not hold the tuning knob still against it.
On SW, at night, it introduced me to the likes of "Cemetary 347, Radio Check", which I imagined were secret US-NATO forces lurking in shadowy German churchyards...
