Just Wondering ??

[Geist]

Hi All;
I am just wondering.. When I was a kid, I had an AC/DC radio beside my bed.. I don't remember much about it, it was either Bakelite or Plastic case and brown in Color.. The reason I am asking about it.. Is it had a set of Coils for its tuning.. It was made at the end of World War II or with in a few years after that.. I had asked my Dad about why it didn't have a tuning Capicator, and He told me Metal was scarse.. So I am wondering, 1st did all radio manufactures at this time use Coil tuners, or only some manufactures ?? and 2nd of those who did, who are they ?? I had had this radio as far back as I could remember, and when I asked about it, it would have been the late 1960's..
THANK YOU Marty
