Reminds me of the Russian Rigonda radiograms sold here in the mid 60s.
I don't know if the HMV has presets for tuning but the Rigondas didn't: the motor was purely for AFC.
It was very interesting tuning the Medium Wave on this sets because, as you passed through an intermediate carrier en route to the required one, the tuning knob snatched at your fingers as the AFC pulled it first forwards then backwards as it attempted to lock onto the carrier!
