Home brew. Typical of South America. That's not native American
wood the cabinet is made out of, and may very well be 20-30 years
newer than the radio itself. Also, the front panel is plywood.

It may very well be a super heterodyne. the two audio transformers
to the right, I suspect the for variable caps in the middle tune
the "IF" whatever that might be.

The caps on the front panel are probably 2 RF and 1 LO tuning.
