Il ricevitore PCR presente in archivio è difforme da uno analogo acquistato tramite eBay. Infatti, quello in archivio risulta comprensivo del sistema di alimentazione. Dalla documentazione che allego risulta che le versioni del ricevitore sono quattro: PCR, PCR1, PCR2 e PCR3. Tutte sono alimentate tramite appositi alimentatori separati dal ricevitore collegati tramite una connessione volante. La nota che allego mostra quanto detto. L'esemplare in oggetto è stato ripristinato mediante la sostituzione del condensatore C24 riportato in figura 1. Solo il primo PCR ha l'altoparlante incorporato, le versioni successive ne sono sprovviste. Dalle date riportate su alcuni componenti presenti all'interno del ricevitore si può affermare che la serie P.C.R. è stata prodotta dal 1944 in poi.
