That's an interesting observation....it doesn't look complete...most likely part of something else. As it is, it looks like a 'front-end'...The missing valve could be an ECH35 mixer followed by the EF39 IF amp and the EBC33 as detector/AF amp. There would then be a power supply and amplifier stage possibly on a sub-chassis. Maybe it was a small table radio-gram.

As it stands it's not much use although it would be interesting to knock up a power supply and see how it performs as a tuner.
