What Companion Receiver to CE 20A?

[doc]

If someone could get a clean photo and even better
the schematic it would be a neat project to try to
build one.

Or, just duplicate the faceplate and build ones
own circuitry behind it.

> The CE receiver prototype was the 100-R. It was written up in ER and/or

> It was meant to match and transceive with the 100-V or 200-V. From the

> What killed it was that CE was bought out by Zenith IIRC. The buyers
