Default Cat's Eye Tuner

Been there, done that, I think I remember the tube type was a 6E5.

I don't miss it at all!

My idea of cool is the Ten Tec Jupiter on my desk beside my computer.
It has a panel and a computer display, instant warm up no drift, more
filters than I will ever need. The spectrum display is just short of
magic. I don't want to go back.

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.
