You collection is sadly lacking.  Crosley sets were mostly continuous tuning 
in the early days and they were a big player. I had a working RCA 630 TS 
that I traded to a collector for a largish Varaic like thing.  He had 
filched it from work so he made out like a bandit, but I knew that going in. 
I couldn't even figure out how to get a camera in and out of that place ....

I never did use the Variac.
