[HBR] CB radios for parts?

I have an old tube type cb xcvr (an Eico factory built unit, IIRC) that is a dual conversion superhet, with IF freqs of ~ 1650 khz & 262 khz, again IIRC.
 I don't how common this scheme was, but note that this particular unit has only a single 1650 khz IF xfmr. Others may have used a similar scheme??

 Hello Dan,
 
 Thanks! I'll be sure to
 check BAMA to confirm the IF frequency before I buy
 one.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Brian
