It's certainly an odd beastie. 7360 meets 2N2926 and LM380.

Back in the day, the Eddystone 898 dial was a very expensive bit of kit and only appeared on serious full-capability radio gear like G2DAF transmitters and receivers, or that RSGB handbook receiver with the Electroniques front end.

That LO is going to be rather drifty.

I looked at the design back in its day and pretty much dismissed it as a probable disappointment. If I was going to go to the trouble of some of those components and especially that dial/drive, I'd be shopping for the crystals for the G2DAF.
