Actually, They went from Hammarlund to Northern Radio.  The first order
was in 1951.

The diversity switching was done as had "eventually" done in the JX
series.  The Northern has the two extra knobs, just not red.  The upper
right corner on "some" Northern's is where the dataplate went - but no
holes.

Another Northern I've seen pictures of Al Parker's work, had the
dataplate on the left.  Once again, no holes, but the two black knobs
instead of red.
