[R-390] Shelby Hamfest picture

Hello all.
Today I installed the Shelby screensaver and I have a question about one
of the pictures.  It is a grey Boatanchor receiver (aren't they all 8^). 
The front panel edges are rounded back and it has chrome or stainless
"latching" handles on either side.  Two meters on the right and a
frequency "window" labeled in Megacycles on the left.  If I remember
correctly, it displayed the frequency on a small screeen by shining a
light through a "digital display" of sorts.

What is it?  I had one like it back in 1972 that I went through and
completely cleaned up/overhauled.  If I recall correctly it used solder
in "pencil" tubes and was a very good playing set. Can't remember who
made it but it seems like it was a Bendix or Packard Bell or similar. 
Would sure like to get another but doubt that I'll ever be able to!
