Certainly looks like a receiver done as a successor to the same 
guy's HBR.   That's a BC-221 tuning mechanism I think?   Maybe a 
modified one?  The cap shaft on those is usually transverse.   
Looks like he switched to use the drum as the fine dial and the flat 
plate for coarse.  Boy, I don't know ... that wouldn't work either, if 
they're really BC-221.

Those oil-filled caps are from the BC-342 or 348?

Looks like there's room for a multi-gang cap in the box.  

Strange placement of the bandswitch knob -- but not impossible.   
No power supply.   Is that a big hole in the chassis to the left of the 
box?  

Looks like a clever and capable builder.

"Weston" from the meter, I guess.   I think you definitely need this 
item, Kees.
