When I first started collecting I liked the early Raytheon-Belmont TV's, but a collector/repairman swayed me from them because of their crazy tuners. Still, I wish I would've acquired one or two then when they were easier to find.
I agree with the set in question that it's odd that the relatively smooth knob is used with a clicker tuner. It's designed for the continuous tuner. I have a radio though that has a smooth small knob (original and correct) for band selection that is basically useless. It needed some kind of a leverage bar like on the better sets. Even back then there was a good and bad engineering!
