  • Notes
  • The 5-tube and the 6-tube versions of this model were advertised in the second half of 1934 in the French Newspaper La Lumière for a price of 1150 resp. 1450 French Franc. The advertisement with a model image shows a price of 1250 Franc.

    Currently we don't know if the two versions differ cabinet-wise, but it's likely they both look the same.
