You do know you're talking with a Signal/One designer, right?

Yes but in this case, he's wrong.

I said:

I've seen picture of a Signal/One "receiver" in a book on receivers.
It was a prototype, maybe a mock up and never saw production.

He replied:

Never even a consideration much less a prototype or mockup. Somebody

I believe that I saw it in Fred Osterman's "Shortwave Receivers,
Past and Present."

A picture in Osterman's book or some other book does not mean
that one of the several entities that called itself "Signal/One"
actually made that receiver. It does mean that what I wrote was
accurate.

I have seen a picture of a Signal/One "receiver" in a book on
receivers. Exactly what that picture represents is an unknown. It
might have been a prototype (probably not, otherwise 4ZCB would
know about it).

It might have been a mockup done by the advertising folk
(possible, lots happens that not everyone knows about. Also, that
was 30 years ago. Memories fade before photographs.)

It was not what 4ZCB suggests but does not precisely state, that
some web-weenee photoshopped it up. That is exactly what that
picture is not.

So. The mystery remains.

I've been busy but still hope to get my CX7A working this year.

In the November 1972 73 magazine on page 148 and 149 is a advert for
Signal/One.

They list a model CR-1500 dual channel receiver and the CR-1200 single VFO
receiver. Also the model CT-1500 transmitter and a model CX-10 transceiver.
There are pictures of these items, but they are probably mock-ups and I woul
d guess they were never produced, or probably never even designed.
Engineering may have not even known of these items, as a design engineer for
almost 40 years, I can believe it.

Other new accessories listed are a deluxe station console and 2-meter and
6-meter transverters with direct digital readout and FM capability. Those
marketing people were sure busy.
