Hi,

A Grebe-Eisman Synchrophase

That's a strange combo, I wonder what it looks like?

As I recall it was about 20 inches wide and about 8 deep, three tuning
dials mounted horizontally so they came through the panel, linked by a
chain drive aas I recall.

That's a Grebe Synchrophase. There was another company, Eisemann
Magneto Corp., that made some vaguely similar models, except that only
their rheostats were horizontal, not the tuning dials. Freed-Eisemann
(no relation) was also a well-known maker in the 1920s.

That must have been a pretty popular model back in the day.......I've
seen no less than five of them at swaps recently in various states of
(dis)repair.

The Grebe Synchrophase was an amazing performer in its day, and
even now. I'd say it was the best unshielded TRF design ever made by
anyone. Grebe sold a lot of them, at $155.
