Really Jerry? Radio receivers weren’t a thing until the 1920s!

I suggest it’s time to break out the subclass. I suspect it’s not going to be a 
hugely difficult task. One thing I’ve found is a good approach to custom 
controls is to draw the graphical parts separately (in a drawing app) and just 
use them as an included resource. That way you don’t get bogged down in low 
level drawing code, it’s easy to modify or customise and you can concentrate 
your coding effort on the functioning of the control rather than its appearance.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a 3rd-party solution out there for this 
already.
