Rc! 2950

I bought one of these today at a yard sale for $10.00, so I couldn't pass up a new toy.
I was under the impression that the knob directly over the mic plug was for continuous frequency selection.
This one has a double pot. The outer knob just turns clockwise and counter clockwise, no detents. The center knob is an on/off type pot.
When the radio is turned on, neither of these knobs seem to have any function.
Any ideas what these are used for?

OK, I'll try this again. I have an Owners Manual. The knobs above the mic jack, do not have any visible function. One acts like an On/Off. volume control. The other acts like a balance knob. Nor do the knobs resemble the pictures of the one in the manual.

Any Ideas?

The knob on the left is the VFO. It looks like someone put a hack job aftermarket knob on there.

Is the Vfo knob supposed to be a dual function pot like this one is?

Someone removed the VFO and installed an echo (connex) board.
One knob is for time and the other is delay.

OK, that's what I needed to know.
Now, Can I just leave the top switch turned off if I don't want the echo, or am I going to have to remove the board?
