The knob at the back of the chassis is for the QAVC adjustment. This acts a bit like a squelch control, cutting the audio as one tunes between stations. The toggle switch on the side of the cabinet turns this feature on or off.

The unit added to the right side doesn't look original to me. It seems to consist of slightly later vintage components. Could be an add on for a phonograph input, or some modification to improve radio reception. Information on how it is connected to the main chassis would help solve the mystery.

Do you have pictures of the front of the cabinet? That way, we could have a better chance with ID. Model 16 appeared in a number of variants but I would guess yours is an early chassis with five bands. It looks to be in quite undisturbed condition, and you even have the "Echo Absorbing Screen".
