Great shot! I had a 1936+- General Electric console radio with the tuning eye.

I've got a Montgomery Ward Airline myself-it's a floor model, one that I haven't shot yet. Is the green light at the upper right a tuning tube?

Yes, king, it's a tuning eye tube. I look forward to seeing your Airline one day.
