The trick for getting the unit uncashed is to rotate the calibration knob when pulling on the case front knobs to free the sliding dial from obstructing the main unit removal.
Nice. Doesn't look like it has complex circuitry inside, you can make yourself a comparable device. But - finding the case, making it all fit, all that mechanical mayhem (flywheel, vernier drive); what a hassle :D So yeah, enjoy. Despite the simplicity, it's very useful gear to have on your bench. I built myself a 10.7MHz oscillator using a ceramic filter and that is very useful to peak IF cans, so having something with a lot of ranges is even better.
Loved the dave Jones impression, i thought he was there with you.

Cool function generator!

You can make some nice FM synthesis sounds with this. :)
