Arran thanks for your comments. Yes, NY call letters. The flash tuner as far as I know was only set up for NY stations. It is basically little more than a "microswitch" on the plastic dial that has indents on it to trigger a light when the tuner reaches a NY station. The radio was sold the the great grandfather of the people I bought it from and indeed in the NY area. It will be a challenge to try to get to the tuner with all the stuff in front of it and see what I can figure out.
Regards, Jerry

PS: Arran, don't worry about the price, at my age, I don't worry about things like that. It's a hobby.
