I repaired one of the console models for someone about 30 years ago and was impressed with its performance at the time before all this interference we now suffer started.

Later I made the owner a stand alone solid state BFO so that he could listen to SSB having developed an interest when he toured my then well equipped shack.

The valve lineup if I recall correctly made it similar to an R1155, one IF stage less I think.

The tuning knob is a Muirhead drive by the look of it. Altogether fairly impressive with its chrome chassis.
