Looks like it has all the additional goodies that are really tough to find.
Such as the dynamotor. Also that unit is somewhat rare, .52 to 1.5. As
memory served those were used as a 'Q-multiplier' back in the good ole days,
or was it a selective IF? Been a while.

No, it was the one that covered the 455KHz range that was used as a "Q-5er".
That one had an 85KHz IF, and did provide nice selectivity to an existing
receiver.
Q-multipliers were a regen stage added to an existing receiver. Put it
on the plate of the mixer feeding the low IF, and it provided a null or
peak.
The one under question covers the broadcast band. I gather those
were never made in the quantity of the others, making them rare to
start with.
