Yes, it is a Baird M646. I had one a few years ago and that didn't have the rotary valve UHF tuner unit fitted either.

It's an all valve set, circa 1963/4. CRT type AW59-91. However, in my set, a 660 series main chassis (transistorised IF stages) had been fitted into the set, retaining the original front control panel assembly.

Very nice dark wood cabinet with folding doors and screw-in legs.

Gave a cracking picture after a good 23" Mullard CRT fitted and many components replaced.
