As I recall, the receiver was indeed a KLH. The design of the vernier dials 
was related to that of the KLH 21 radio. KLH also made an interesting 
combination FM radio and turntable in a walnut wood veneer case with separate speakers, 
which upscale college kids liked to buy for dorm use. The vernier FM dial was 
used there as well. The FM tuner suffered somewhat from multipath, which 
could be eliminated if you chose the mono setting. I understand that KLH service 
will still repair their receivers and radios. That's iffy now. There's always 
some specialist who can do it.
