Hi Phil,

Yes, that's the channel indicator. The tuner has 8 positions, and you can insert appropriate coils for the 8 channels you want, and put a little plastic number into the appropriate slot on that strip (a little like Philco pushbutton radios from the 1940s). Behind the strip there is a lamp on a dial string that moves from position to position along the strip as the tuner turret is turned.
