Default IF Gain vs. RF Gain

Thanks for the reply, yes, this is the Lafayette HE-10, in mint
condition, recently recapped and aligned. The manual says to put the
IF gain control at maximum for AM reception, and to reduce it if it
overloads the receiver. The radio is very sensitive getting really
good DX here in South Florida.
I was just curious whether the IF gain was similar to the RF gain in
my other receivers. The radio also has a BFO pitch control for
CW/SSB, and a switch for AVC/MVC/BFO.

Someone else replied already and said it's not a cheapy, and your
description here does not make it sound like such. Of course, now I'm
hving a problem picturing which receiver it was.
