Hi Dennis,
From what I have heard thru the years was that indeed the set was placed under the secratary's desk, then she would use her foot to control the set. I figure that's why the roller wheel was so large and robust.
I'd say it was designed for foot operation, otherwise why would such a large wheel and pre set stations be used on it? Plus the color wheel inside to light up the jewel showing what station you were tuned to, looking from afar.
On the ones I have, a couple had chipped areas where the top and bottom come together. Can't see it much unless the set is apart. I repaired it anyway.
When you get ready to do the chassis, I can send the servce sheet scan to you.
Take care.
