When it rains, it pours...maybe I need help.
#16

It looks exactly like this one except the Photofinish on mine is nearly pristine. I'm kind of fascinated with it. The fit and finish of the design is nicely done, and it has the most unique push button scheme I've ever seen. The push buttons are entirely mechanical...no separate coils for each button at all. In fact the buttons simply act as adjustable levers to physically move the tuning cap to a point you set by adjusting a set screw. The tuning knob has a cotter pin looking pin behind the chassis mount that locks it to the tuning cap or disengages it from the tuning cap. So, to use the push buttons, you throw the tuning knob out, then the lack of drag from the tuning knob allows the mechanical push buttons to press against the tuning cap cam and turn it to the desired station.
