    This model is comparable with NSF H140A and Philips 435A. There is also a model H140C for DC mains only.
     
    The model with the -20 suffix is supposed to be intended for the Belgian market. It is not known if the suffix was reproduced on the typeplates.

    The technical manual mentions tube UY1 as rectifier. However, it is more likely that rectifier UY1(N) is meant since the schematic makes use of its internal connections (pin2-pin6 and pin5-pin8).

    Attention: this model contains an autotransformer: chassis connected to the mains !
