    We don't know yet all differences between model SHF-3 and SHF-3D but they differ at least in the loudspeakers 3 and 4 - of the same size of 3.5". Speakers 1 and 2 show a size of 12". Also the Escutchean control knobs are different. On both, cabinet and parts can have different colors. Only the early versions of SHF-3 use the two line chokes. Part # 105685 is only used in model SHF-3D.
