I think you got derailed.

Trying again toward the topic; I've worked on a lot of those early Zenith Chro-II sets with electronic varactor tuners. They have a pop-out panel inside the door which has 12 or 16 tuning wheels; each capable of tuning any channel VHF or UHF. To have it tune directly through channels, just set the wheels one at a time to your local channels, and that way there aren't any empty ones between. If I'm not mistaken, those sets came with empty black squares to slip into the channel display strip, which would cause the selector to skip the blacked out position. But I can't remember now if that was on these early ones, or even another maker. It's been a long time...
