That is a early 30s rca superheterodyne chassis. Those sections in the tuner are adjustable. You have to remember sometimes those tubes can be loose or the sockets are dirty. That is actually a good chassis when it's restored.
Screw in IF cans are just PLAIN COOL!!!!! Overbuilt was the name of the game, just like Hoover Dam, built 4 times stronger then needed!!! 🙂 Also, those chassis mounted capacitors are not always bad, I would have checked them to see if they were leaky or??? I found many like this still good with love leakage even after 100 years... Amazing quality... BUT!!!! The HUM may be the answer to the caps are gone....
