Sounds like the RF-103

It has several boards mounted on the inside of that door you
opened that have white plastic covered relays. Bottom left
front has several fuse holders and circuit breakers. The 
little door that opens allows you to adjust the auto-tune
circuits which are little wire springs the move up and down.

Heavy, runs great on 80, massive TVI on 20 meters.
