    This radio has a tag listing four possible chassis numbers: 6Y60T, 6Y61T, 6Y60BT, 6Y61BT (the B suffix denominating a switchable mains transformer 115/225 V).

    The rubber stamp on the chassis is missing the final "T" (only 6Y61B is visible).

    The similar domestic version Y832 has two electrostatic tweeters in place of the two 3 inch cone tweeters used in this radio in addition to the 8 inch center speaker.

    A bakelite table top with chassis 6Y60T or 6Y61T (with output tube 6V6GT) is listed here.
