I learned to tune with one of those gadgets! It was a small, squarish brown box. The next generation of these gadgets was a taller model called the Conn STrobotuner that was rectangular in shape, but had one big circular display. I think the little red dots went round a 3 inch circle. Then after that I switched to the newfangled Sight O Tuner, then the Accutuner, then Cyber Tuner! Yeah, I guess I've always used a machine to tune, but then again I 've always used a machine to do my laundry - starting with a ringer washing machine!
