Actually if's from a Command transmitter. 

If you found the other pictures, look carefully at the dial drum. It had 
another use before it was installed in that receiver.

That particular receiver cost me less than $10 to build, most of which went 
for the FT-241A xtals and sockets, and the 44 mHy toroids in the audio filter. 
Nothing else was bought new. The chassis and brackets are all homebrew. The 
terminal strip and the board with the resistors are to permit the use of 
odd-heater-voltage tubes like 5U8s and 3BZ6s found in old TVs.

It has since been dismantled for the parts.
