The volume control adjusted from full antenna on to short to ground. The tuning knob turned three condensers linked with a metal belt. There's a fine tuning knob under the main tuning that just bears against the edge of the large knob.
The model 40 sets also had that front panel layout, and were early AC sets. I should know I own a 40, and just helped a friend bring his 40 back to life.
