  In 1953 there were 6 different sets with different crystal-groups available, identified by a coloured disk with a letter (A to F) on the side of the front panel.
  The receiver has one RF-amplifier, a crystal oscillator, mixer, 4 IF amplifiers, a limiter, a discriminator with 2 diodes, and 1 audio-amplifier. The transmitter has a master oscillator, a modulator and power amplifier. An automatic frequency control ensures that the operating frequency of the transmitter is correct.

  The given weight is inclusive the battery.
  The sub-miniature tubes are integrated in plug-in units.
