  It is IF driven, input frequency is adjustable from 450 kHz to 500 
kHz.  There is no modulator built in it, it is just a demodulator.

  I cannot find a photo on their website but the CV-116 is listed at $195.

  It is a diversity unit, has two IF inputs which can be used one at a 
time, or in diversity with an internal combiner.  Each of the two 
demodulators has a mechanical AFC setup -  a frequency discriminator 
drives a motor, which in turn drives a variable capacitor -  that way 
the demodulator can follow drifting signals.  Very cool -  three motors.

  It is a rack mount unit, maybe 8.75" tall.  Once you get it tied down 
in a solid rack, you can pull out a drawer (on slides) to get to the 
innards.  Lots o' tubes.
