I have them but I have no scanner & if I did I would never
figure out how to send them
Anyhows they were on a slide rule with 14 positions. Any position
could be set to any band & channel ( VHF-L, VHF-H or UHF). The sets
came with a set of plastic numbers tabs from 2-83 with a few extras.
The tabs chose the band & each position had a multi turn pot
to tune the channel. Remote sets had everything behind the door.
Non remotes had a knob that slid up & down. The knob opened up
& the channels were tuned by a knob inside it if needed.
IIRC starting with G-line sets they switched over to 18 position
rotary selectors. 6 for UHF & all the VHF. That started with the
13GC10 chassis, the first in line CRTfrom Zenith & a fantastic set.
By H-line I believe all varactor sets were 18 position rotaries.
When old they did get very noisy but I dont remember any actual
complaints. More of an annoyance to the tech than anything.
Enuf fer now
