I had a US "town&country" radio in my car in the early 70's with motorised tuning.It had the normal push button permeability tuner, with an additional motor and clutch to tune to the next station with a high enough agc signal. The output valves were driven with a centre tapped choke, and didn't have a cathode bypass capacitor, which rather impressed me too.
