[Central-Electronics] Curious CE PA on eBay

[peter markavage]

Looks like it followed the front panel layout of the P&H LA-400-C (later
version).  However the P&H didn't have a red pilot lamp on the left; P&H
was 80-10 meters (band positions followed a 180 degree arc). This one
looks like it is 160-10 meters; band positions follow a 320 or 340 degree
arc). Meter styles are also different. Large knobs on this model are
similar to the ones used on the LA-400. Lettering looks like the
dry-transfer rub-on kind from DATAK. LA-400C had 4 1625's or optional
837's. However, CE used a similar styled box for its 10 and 20A series
and also similar styled knobs.
