    The X372 M is an upgraded X372 has an added phonograph pre-amplifier for magnetic pickup. It employs a 6SC7 with the socket rubber-mounted.  (While the tube is drawn in pencil on the paper label, it appears to be factory installed).  For the added tube, there is a separate filament winding in the power transformer plus the necessary circuitry.

    Most probably an Export model made in Canada.
