I had a VHF-UHF surveillance receiver that was made by CEI and modified
in the same way by LTV Temco. The front panel was painted plexiglass
that was backlit and it had the same kind of goofy knobs, similar to

If anyone has a picture of the G133F (or other Temco units) I'm sure
Terry O would be pleased to add them to his site.
