Boy does that bring back memories! My first SW receiver, extracted from an old upright radio/phono console in 1957, had one of those, and I'll never forget tuning in WWV for the very first time and watching the dark center narrow down to a slender wedge. And you could see the orange filament glowing behind the eye, too, which was pretty cool. :-) I would stare at that thing for hours as I listened. ( Maybe that's why I'm blind as a bat today...! )
