Had one of these. I never did get it to work, but I SURE had fun
taking it apart. ;-)

I had one of these too. I think. Isn't that the FM thing with the push 
buttons?

Anyone that's every been on 2 meter AM has HAD to have one of these.

Didn't have the knob, but I DO remember using a piece of silicon carbide 
paper
and a glass plate to adjust things into the novice bands.

My first "rack mount" thing had those. A pair of 304TL running push pull.
And for AM, a pair of Taylor TZ-40's driving a Thoradson multi-match.

I subsequently upgraded to a pair of 813s with carbon plates running
grounded grid so I could use them on SSB.
