[Boatanchors] Single Tuning Knob 1930s Sky Buddy

[Al Klase]

Hi Chuck,

I'm glad you straightened us out on the BAMA link, my brain just wasn't 
working when I tried it at 03:30.

Actually, I'd call the S-19 the "interim" Skybuddy.  The original being 
the 5T.  Pic here:  http://www.skywaves.ar88.net/commrx/cheap/cheap.html
Early versions of this set had a picture of a young man, dressed up for 
proper radio operation in a vest and tie, on the airplane-dial artwork.
