saba: 355W (355WH); . . . .Meaning of H suffix

Dear members,

I am somewhat puzzled by the suffix letter H for this model - is it possible the letter represents the type of cabinet . . ."houten" for wood or should it reflect the letter K for the shortwave band(s)?

Respectfully,

Robert

There are two versions of the device.

355WH with wooden case (H = Holz / Wood)
355WP with bakelite case (P = Preßmasse / Bakelite)

Hello Herr Bauer,

Thank you so much for the clarification. . . . . .I presumed that some manufacturers used the cabinet designations in the early years when the customer had the choice to order or purchase either the "wood" cabinet or the "pressed material" cabinets.

I am aware that some of the early bakelite cabinets were Quite beautiful and even producible in varying colors and patterns; and they would maintain a lovely appearance for many years without degradation, and occasional polishing.

Respectfully,

Robert
