It should be pretty easy to plate modulate that sucker!

Back in the 50's and 60's, many of the tech schools used these types of large visual teaching aids as part of classroom apparatus. I remember seeing a large desktop visible transmitter, receiver, VTVM, scope, signal generator teaching aids. A lot easier then 20 to 30 students crowding around a typical 5 tube receiver chassis to learn the electronic basics.

That's pretty nice!

It has a fusty old cable inside, and a glass epoxy PCboard front!
