I am probably showing my age but as a kid I recall the console radios
with a very cool tuning indicator called a Cat's Eye.

Some things are gone forever and are missed. Too bad there is not a
software version of the old cat's eye.



I remember my grandparents having such a device on their big
living room radio set. I also remember opening the back of a small table
model radio when I was older (in my teens) and being surprised
to find that one of the tubes used in it had a catseye on it. Guess they
were using an old stock of tubes in the new radios and the catseye tuner was
just an unneeded function of the tube they used.
