.. and then there were the RCA "catacomb" sets. Those used a 40 KHz IF for the early superhet designs, and it made tuning in any given station a true challenge. Receiving the same strong station on multiple dial positions wasn't/isn't unusual... it's a fact of life. And those two dials didn't help, either... one for the antenna, one for the LO.
