I had a
VOR nav system that was made for marine purposes. I don't recall the
manufacturer but it was about the size of an old turntable and had a
large compass dial on the top. We could tune in radio station broacast
towers all around the lake and the indicator would show the go-to arrow
against the compass rose beneath.

What you describe is not a VOR but rather an RDF. VOR is an aircraft
system that gives a direct bearing to the beacon transmitter without
need to rotate the receiving antenna.
