It looks like the builder originally intended to put one or more meters in the upper half of the panel, but didn't. That will make it awkward to use, assuming it works at all.
A small DC one -- like for a toy or hobbyist tool -- maybe. Unless there's a big heatsink on the back that isn't visible, it's probably not up to more than an amp or two. The maximum voltage is probably less than 30 volts.
Not worth the headache, adjusting the voltage without meters would just be a hassle since a decent quality bench psu isn't that expensive. I keep one around with a load of dc end tips and couldn't imagine using one without a volt meter.
