There were several different styles of the RCA tilt-out drawer...there was one model that was an XL-100 from around 1973 that had a long narrow drawer with knob controls all in a single line...then the slide controls of the CTC-48, also the knob controls in the drawer of the CTC-39 and late model CTC-38.
Some of the Japanese sets such as Hitatchi and Sony had a UHF knob with 6 or seven detented positions and a slide rule tuning dial...to set up the presets you would click the knob to the desired preset and then turn the fine-tuning knob and observe the slide-rule dial to set the channel...it would then mechanically remember it.
I do have an Ultramatic Zenith set, haven't used it for a little while, it is a power-tuning but non-space command color set. It doesn't seem like the UHF portion of it worked quite right.
In the picture you can see the Sony UHF slide rule dial and preset setup, this set appears to be from around 1969.
