The Selena has a power switch in front that operates in the AC circuit, so it does not suffer from vampire current when switched off appropriately. 
The inside picture shows the carroussel tuner in the top, where the rotating band switch contains all band-specific coils and capacitors. Taking that into account, I think the PCB below contains quite a lot of coils still, but tests show that the radio is a single conversion superhet.
