Magic Eyes?

I've seen pictures of these on vintage audio equipment, but I've never encountered one in real life.

They sure look cool. But how do the work? What are they used for? How are they superior to normal analog dials? Or are they?

By the late 1960s they seem to mostly disappear. why did they fall out of favor?

Though not a picture of mine, I have one exactly like it. Still works perfectly. Inject and then trace a signal. The eye is almost fully open and then the two sides illuminate toward each other until full illumination around the eye with a strong signal. I have had tuners with them, and other gear. Very neat, and actually cooler looking than in the pics.

Vacuum tube of course a triode which is inside this tube. Decent explanation a video here:

The strip type indicators were nice too, but not as neat as the eye imo.

Wow. his modern LED creation actually looked more "old timey" than the original.

Amazingly clever electro-mechanical combo. That guy is McGuyver.

Sounds like a combination of quartz tuning and solid state circuits would be the reason they went away.

I have tubes like that on one of my preamplifiers [tubes placed in an up-down position].

PLLs lock right to the FM pilot and obviated most of the fine tuning required. Then we got all the digital tuners using DLLs so even less required. Plus they added cost. Heck, it's hard to find a tuning meter on a receiver these days, let alone a Magic Eye.

Sometimes in the march towards simplicity or making things "idiot proof" we lose that sense of involvement that the older gear had. I loved my Mitsubishi DA-F20 FM tuner for the kool little extras it had. One of the very first (affordable) tuners with a digital frequency readout it also included the analog dial. Plus it had a 3 led tuning indicator,stereo light, and led signal strength indicators. Great tuner over all and "fun" to see and use. Designed for the enthusiast, ($430 in 1978 dollars) also having bandwidth switching for best FR when appropriate, manual mono switching, squelch switching. and record level tone. One of the all time great FM tuners.
I feel the same way about my vehicles, stick shift only for me, it's just part of the driving experience.

As stupid as those paintings are, it was a vast relief when I learned to see them. I had really suspected it was an
Emporer's New Clothes kind of thing.

Reviews for "Why Magic Car Wash and Lube Center in Farmingville is the Trusted Choice for Car Owners"

1. John - 1/5

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Magic Car Wash and Lube Center in Farmingville. The car wash did such a terrible job that I had to go home and wash my car again. Not only did they leave spots and streaks all over the body, but they also failed to clean the wheels properly. The lube center was no better as they forgot to replace the air filter they charged me for. Overall, it was a complete waste of time and money.

2. Sarah - 2/5

I had high expectations for Magic Car Wash and Lube Center in Farmingville, but unfortunately, they fell short. The car wash itself was satisfactory, but the customer service was very disappointing. The staff seemed disinterested and lacked professionalism. The waiting area was dirty and unkempt, and there was a long wait to have my car serviced. Additionally, the prices were quite high compared to similar establishments in the area. I will not be returning to this car wash and lube center in the future.

3. Mike - 2/5

I visited Magic Car Wash and Lube Center in Farmingville hoping for a quick and efficient car wash and oil change. However, the service I received was far from satisfactory. The car wash left streaks and missed spots all over my vehicle. The staff at the lube center seemed inexperienced and took much longer than necessary to complete the oil change. Furthermore, the prices were higher than other places I've been to. I would not recommend this place to others.
