That's a west coast radio for sure, but what an odd knob arrangement.  It doesn't look like a hole has been filled where a third knob would be on the right, but I've never seen an odd knob set-up like this before.  You'd think they would have placed the knob directly under the tuning knob.

I'd sure like to see a picture of the front of the chassis and the inside front of that cabinet if you get a chance.  When I get back to my other PC I'll see if I can find a schematic in my Gernsback manuals; they seem to have a lot of the west coast sets that Riders doesn't.

Also, what does that little plate on the front of the cabinet say?
