Been awhile since I played with a 51-2 radio but I believe the rotary lever on the radio is the bass/treble on the left and if you have a signal seeker, the sensitivity on the right. Could have those backward.

The rear seat speaker fader is a rotary potentiometer and located on the dash. It was an option so not installed on all. Packard suggested and gave instructions for a spot but really, it also depended on the dealer and owner where it might have been located. It just turns about 270 degrees. The antenna switch is push pull. While the knob bases are all close to the dash bezel on the other switches, you would see approx 3/16" of shaft showing before the knob base on the antenna switch.
