Any clue what this does?

The tuner on this is odd too.

The smallest shaft seems to be the fine tuning, string driven inside the tuner.
The largest shaft is for the band switch and the middle shaft is for changing the channels, also string driven. It's really just a two speed setup with the fine tuning having a higher "gear" reduction than the channel changer.

My question is what does the lever with the spring do? It seems to just rock back and forth on the outside of the band switch shaft.

I suppose it might be obvious if I dug the knobs out of the inside of the cabinet and put them all on but I'm feeling pretty lazy so I'm just asking.

I'm guessing some kind of stop, but why the spring, which only operates in one direction by the way.
