- Notes
- This models name is Q.B3 or QB3. The Service notes from October 1937 show in the headline "The PYE Q.B3 Receiver". Same in the 2nd line.
But already in the 3rd line we find just QB3 (w/o dot). The complete text below, in the following pages, and also in sheet 2 of the same paper there is only QB3. In sheet 2 of the same doc. also only QB3.
Trader Service sheet 338 shows QB3 throughout, no Q.B3 at all.
