I have a (very) faint recollection of this set- does it have a film-scale dial and ranging based on decadic capacitance swing, i.e. 3-10/10-30 style frequency bands with coverage from 30kHz to 30MHz? It would be interesting to know if it followed the "usual formulae" as regards aspects like the front-end/ type of mixer/ IF scheme and so on.
