In the early sixties I had a tank receiver briefly. I have no pix, I'll try to describe it.
It was about, maybe, 12-14 inches high, and maybe 8 inches wide. It was black with grey labels and had about a 3 inch round speaker behind a metal screen in the upper left hand corner...made it look a little like a 'scope. Down the left side were silver tuning pushbuttons which, if I'm remembering correctly set just like old-time car radios..you know, pull out the button, tune the station, push the button back in.
The tuning control was a horizontal thumb wheel in the lower center (the thumbwheel was about 3/8" high), with the dial behind a window just above it. There were volume and (I think) squelch controls.
It covered 30 to 50 Mc (maybe it didn't go all the way to 50) and received FM.
I rarely heard anything on it, but once I picked up a mobile telephone conversation between a guy and another guy at a bar. They were making rude comments about one of the waitresses.
Anyone know about these? (Receiver, not the waitress) What nomenclature?
