Strange and unusual tuning capacitor

[Miguel Lopez]

it's just that some of the rotor and stator vanes on each section have been removed.

I don't think so. The small sub-section has its own terminals for soldering, both up and down the capacitor.

The chassis has six valve holders, all of them octals. No big output transformer. It had just two valves remaining, one of which is a 7A7. Now I don't remember which one was the other, I will see it at home today.

The chassis also has a label in the back, stating that for replacement parts one should contact SEARS, ROEBUK & CO. USA.

Another detail. The dial pointer seems to move vertically in the right hand of the radio
