OK, my guess is Clark instruments mod was the knobs. I will drive down tonight
and hand the man $500.00 for it. It looks to be an early Motorola. 1956 vintage.
 Motorola used plenty of fungus proofing and clean up very nicely.

 I think the flash makes the front panel look a little rougher than it really is. 
The tag is definitely a good conversation piece. I bid $550.00! Anyone care to 
up my offer :-)
 From what I can see the sides look nice as well. 

  My last comment is the IF cans have not been drilled. To me that is a plus.
Just get a set of junkers to do your alignments and leave the good ones alone.

 Good luck, I think you have a winner. BTW, If you dont want to fix it up,
Rick Mish of Miltronix will make it shine like a new car for you.

Regards, Scott

See links for the pictures I took this morning.  Again, this is a receiver I
am thinking about purchasing, not one I have for sale.  Trying to determine
if it is a good buy at $400.  No case.  No bottom cover.  Has top cover.
Bottom is clean.  Top is dirty.  Don't see any mods to rear chassis.  Large
knobs not original.
