Abstract
A turret indicator for a television receiver includes a stationary gear attached to a mounting base with a shaft passing through it. A rotatable carrier turret is mounted on the shaft and it carries five rotatable planetary indicator turrets which are programmed with channel numbers, five on each indicator turret to give a total of 25 indicating positions. When the rotatable carrier turret is rotated, the numerals on the indicator turrets appear sequentially at a viewing window in the television receiver cabinet.
