Used by Philco Dealers and their Service Depts. for setting up customers' new set in the home. The Dealer/Service would setup the Station Setter for the local stations and some of the receivable "biggies" and beat the Setter's preset freqs against the tuned-in stations for setting the radio's pushbuttons dead on freq.

It's bacially a test oscillator with tunable pushbutton presets.

I have the service info, although I beleive it's rather sketchy. Will look for it Gary. Probably can email a pdf - only a page or two IIRC.

Some of this era Philco service gear was poorly documented, others have detailed info. Maybe some of these test items were designed by different outside OEMs for Philco and varied in their "detailed-ness". ??
