According to OM Charlie N9SOR (http://www.hammarlund.org) and
Les Locklear (http://www.hammarlund.info)
the set SPC-600-X as advertised has never existed nor ever been sold to the public, it did probably only exist as laboratory prototype. From one of these, the pictures in the advertisement may have been taken. Obviously, none of these prototypes has survived the clearing out, when the old company plant has been sold.
Thanks to Your help, Charlie and Les
