This is a Swan 406 remote VFO. It was pretty common for mobile operation in the 60's and 70's. This one wasn't in horrible condition, it just needed a little TLC. I cleaned it, serviced the rotary switches, repaired the broken remote cable and installed a strain relief on it, repainted the case, and she was ready to go. Since my Swan 400 didn't have a VFO (the 400 required an external vfo), it was the perfect lashup.
I've been in Amateur Radio since 1974, and still find new and interesting things to do. I like to build, restore, and operate on the air.
