Default The Octopus Shortwave Radio

Watchin Ace Drummond, ''Chapter 6: Evil Spirits'' on the TCM channel.
I saw a big Shortwave Radio, on the front of the Radio it said, The
Octopus.Weird looking, it had something like a horizontally mounted
clear plastic thingy that was revolving around clockwise and counter
clockwise on the front panel of the Radio when the Radio was being used.
What was it?

One of my old radios, it says on the front, ORION TELEPHONE AMP. & RADIO
15 TRANSISTOR SOLID STATE AC/DC.
There are three knobs, Tuning, AM TEL. and OFF - VOLUME.On the left
side, there is a place for AC 117 V, and two jacks, EAR and T.P
Inside, there is a place for a 9 Volt battery.
I assume to presume the radio can be used as a Telephone amplifier.

It's the orignal prototype of the tiny-tenna. Don't let Arky Bob hear
about this!

That "thingy" instantly tunes the radio to the Great Liberty Net!

That ''thingy'' would make a real Good fish lure.
One time back when I was eight years old, at Eagle Lake,Missy Sippy, I
fell out of the boat and my pants slipped down.I reckon that fish
thought my ''thingy'' was a fish lure.
