drh4683 (Doug Harland),
RCA was not the only company to put a transistor symbol on the slide-rule dial of the AM/FM radio tuner of its 3-way entertainment centers. H. H. Scott had a symbol of a FET (field-effect transistor) on the dials of some if its high-end FM tuners of the 1960s, such as the LT-112B Stereomaster receiver. This receiver saw much use as a broadcast monitor in FM radio stations of the '60s as well.
BTW, the record on the turntable in that RCA set gives away the console's vintage. The Monkees were a popular rock group from about 1965 to 1968 or so, so this unit was new anywhere from 35 to 38 years ago.
