[AMRadio] National Receiver Question

[Mike Duke, K5XU]

Did National ever make a receiver on which the tuning knob pulled out
slightly to become the band switch?

If they didn't, who might have made such a mechanical monster?

I am trying to help a friend identify a receiver which he has acquired that
has this unusual band switch arrangement. All of the model information is
gone from the unit.

I asked about the National because there is a bit of paper label remaining
on the bottom of the unit with the letters "NC."

Any ideas?
