Fascinating... I wonder what it would have been used for? [the frequency coverage is 'interesting'].

I note the presence of a red-and-black Plessey electrolytic, and what looks like a bunch of the TCC Metalmite/Metalpack capacitors which - despite their metal cases and moulded-rubber end-bungs are just waxies-in-posh-jackets and will be leaky as anything.
