Pictures submitted by member Rick Fray show an 6E5 eye tube on his model, while the catalog pictures and description do not show an eye tube. It is suspected that the eye tube was added by a previous owner but since no schematic is available, it is not possible to confirm this yet.

A console only, undrilled was offered for $ 9.75. See details for the models of this catalog or summaries.
