Behind the scenes
The item that doubled as the fourth Doctor's Etheric Beam Locator in Genesis of the Daleks and The Talons of Weng-Chiang was (in real life / reality) a Varian Klystron VA220 valve used in microwave transmission and ocsillator equipment, such as television transmissions and RADAR technology.
The non-canonical Curse of Fatal Death had its version of the Master outfitted with etheric beam locators, which were "Dalek bumps" placed in such a way that they appeared to give the Master "breasts".
