Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Ultimately, after radio-television-electronics servicing seemingly lost its appeal as a trade, McGraw-Hill announced that NRI Schools would be phased out, simply citing "changes in the marketplace". NRI Schools ceased accepting new enrollment applications on April 1, 1999 and discontinued operations completely on March 31, 2002, giving the institution a respectable 88 years of existence in the business of distance education.
Over its lifetime, NRI administered 1.5 million correspondence courses and had succeeded in adapting to training its students through the ushering in of major technical transformations in the radio-television-electronics industry of that time period: from vacuum tubes to solid-state devices (first to discrete transistors and then to Invalid Link Removed); from CRTs to flat panel display; the rise in popularity of Invalid Link Removed and the decline of terrestrial television; the switch from electro-mechanical to entirely microprocessor-controlled receivers, as well as the introduction of personal computers and, finally, the transition from analog to digital radio/television signal transmission. After the school shut down, the Wisconsin Avenue property was purchased and occupied by Fannie Mae.

I can a test that this was the reel deal I purchased in my youth when a past time of mine was fishing

Ah...
According to Wikipedia:
The Japanese war tuba (known in Japanese as: 九〇式大空中聴音機, "Type 90 large air sound detector") is a colloquial name sometimes applied to this Imperial Japanese Army acoustic locator due to the visual resemblance to the musical tuba. The name derived from a misidentification, possibly in jest, of a historical pre-World War II (1930s) photograph featuring Japanese Emperor Invalid Link Removed (Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed) inspecting a trio of acoustic locators with a backdrop of anti-aircraft cannons.
