With that case it shouts 'kit' to me. Goodness knows who was the vendor, but the apparent direct tuning drive is somewhat unusual. Does it use Octal or minature valves?
I had one with direct drive to the tuning capacitor, which was a seriously cut down short superhet & had minature 8 pin valves. Terrible performance.
Get that back off & let's see what she looks like inside.
