Sounds like it must have been ARC-3 then.  Thanks, Mike

  The C-118/ARC-3 control box had 8 red pushbuttons on it. Perhaps that is 
  what you remember?

  The much earlier SCR-522 also had a control box with red pushbuttons on it, 
  but only 4.

  The ARC-3s were used in many, many military aircraft up through about 
  1960.
