It was smallish, not a full rack width like most nice pieces of stereo equipment, maybe 2/3rds of that in width. Nothing fancy, more likely a department store cheapie from the 60s or 70s. I think the faceplate was silver and the sides and top were wood. I saw a picture of one in somebody's IG story and asked them what it was and they never responded and the pic expired.

The main thing I remember is that round dial with the glowing green numbers at night.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Could it have been the Advent receiver?

Watch immediately, multiple times.

One of my favorites.

There’s a line in the song that says “Give me the answer to the question of,” and I remember that line being in some popular rock song in the 70’s or 80’s. I’ve been driving myself nuts trying to remember who it was. Anyone know?

Is it the line at the end of the chorus of The Reflex? (Timestamp takes you to the right place if you click.)
