• Notes
• Beitman 1964 and SAMS Photofact (Date 1-64, set 674, folder 4) combine the chassis 5D6A, 5D6B and 5D6C on one schematic. Beitman lists the following 14 models for those chassis: Y3321, Y3323, Y3346, Y3353, Y3354, Y3359, Y3363, Y3364, Y3368, Y3376, Y3377, Y3379, Y3381 and Y3383 - missing model Y3343, listed by Slusser.
  
  One of the differences is the loudspeaker M4 with a diameter of 4" for chassis 5D6A but 2 loudspeakers M5 (4") and M6 (3.5") combined for chassis 5D6B and 5D6C. Chassis 5D6A and 5D6C are for AC only and chassis 5D6B is without clock - for AC/DC - all are for power supply 117 V (110-120) 60 cycles. For more information on the Y-models see this link.
  
  Color of the model Y3381 "Marquis" is Baltic Black. This model has top pushbuttons.
