I told my friend N9HXW who was the seller of this radio that it had 
attracted some attention and after receiving some photos of the chassis 
I did a bit more digging and solved the mystery.     The Budelman 128B 
was used to receive signals from the Budelman model 127B wireless 
microphone!


This explains why WCCO-AM, a  50KW MA radio station, would have owned 
one.   It seemed odd at first that it would have variable tuning, but 
this was pretty early gear and it's unclear that the transmitter was 
even crystal controlled.    The receiver's AFC feature was probably very 
important!
