Todd,

maybe someone will turn up a manual and we can look at the details.

I remember from the ebay photo there were three meters on the
unit.  My guess is the two smaller meters were the audio line level
meters.  The larger meter, I wonder if it was used to monitor the
level of the pilot carrier when the receiver is tuned exactly on
frequency and the pilot carrier drops right into the pilot carrier
filter for frequency control.
