[NJARC] Can anyone identify the radio that used this unique gang condenser?

[Al Klase]

Hi Bob,

As Mike F. stated, your original post did hit the NJARC Reflector just 
after you sent it.  The deafening silence is because none of us has any 
idea what it came from.

The only radios I know with a side-by-side array of tuning capacitors 
across the  front panel are the National RHM/AGS family.  This was an 
early shortwave superhet.  But it had only 3 tuning caps ( RF, Mixer, 
and oscillator), and they were National 270-degree-rotation units, and 
were connected together by a rack-and-pinion arrangement, rather than 
the cranks in your assembly.

Your part appears to have 500 mmF'ish caps like you'd find in a TRF 
broadcast set.  I looked through my books, and couldn't find anything 
like that.

Regards,
Al
