I would just like to state that the Pinnacle AF model designation as presented in Radiomuseum is incorrect:
It should be presented in Radiomuseum as shown below:
The AF and PF prefixes denote both chassis and cabinet styling and therefore it is not possible for Model AF to have a Model PF chassis.
A more likely scenario is that both AF and PF models are electrically identical and share the same base chassis footprint.
Radio Corporation chassis prefixes are not randomly selected, and while inconsistent, they do follow a pattern. In this case the "F" in the chassis prefix is the clue.
