ALL tubes are shorted with NO glow no matter the heater setting... Wonder how much voltage they shoved down the 1.5v line? they didnt mess with the 90v side...
And oops, my bad,, just an AM model, the dial scale threw me...

I have absolutely no doubts about your findings. I've seen it many times before!
The dial scale is probably calibrated in wavelength, as well.
Many radios, of that era, used the wavelength scale and were mistaken, to be multi-band. Kilocycles, meters.
