Here's pics, please ID

Thanks tubology!

Here's some pics of set. The set is unrefined but rather complicated for a homebrew set. If this is a homebrew set, the guy must of been a genius, complicated for an early set. Tuner has two variometers, a coil with 14 taps, and finally a tuning cap, coil tank circuit. Tuner also has small knife swith to change selectivity? The whole thing has a very early radio feel, parts move coursely, NO homemade parts/coils. I have a AK 20 big box, IT is more refined inoperation of parts, performance , etc( which is 1924). Tuner works well w/ small antenna. Large antenna not tried yet. Holes for indicators of tube operation. Rheostats are paqett? I think, small lettering. Freshman caps--federal headphone jacks for amplifier. rheostats have brass back plate saying so and off position. Lots of thing to adjust to get one station right!

wrote down a picture chart for postion of all adjustments in tuner section to pick up my favorite news station. Yes, I got it, been looking for a early battery set.
