I think it would be really cool to find an early set with a UHF channel strip installed. It's always possible to have one and not realize it. It would be easily overlooked. The tuner drum in my Zenith PH has a empty spot where one could easily be installed. The drum on my Bendix does not. Makes me wonder about the Sentinel 7" sets... there's an extra click in the tuner and it's not labeled on the bezel.
I think so, but it's under a metal RF shield and hard to get a good look at. Do you think a tuner designed for VHF could go up to UHF frequencies
