did philco [or anybody else] make any other radios with a tuning indicator light?

i did find a clever alternative to the tuning indicator light described on the phorum.

https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthrea...led+tuning

and a nice description of the shadow meter in the library. but no mention of the indicator light.

https://www.philcorepairbench.com/meter-...ndicators/

does anyone know what the name "tropic" refers to??
