Does anyone have a photo of the Philco with tuning eye?

The ad that I quoted had a huge reproduction of the screen shot, and a small picture of the (rectangular) set, on which it would be hard to see any details of the control panel. In this series, they did not illustrate particularly what the tuning eye looked like. I have at least two ads of this format, one with a kid eating an ice cream cone, and the other with Red Buttons, and there is a third (which I may have but can't find) of a cowboy.
If I remember, I'll look through my NYWF memorabilia and see if it was mentioned in the Philco brochure from the Ford pavilion.
