    The IF frequency in first issues of this model was 171 kc before changing to 175 kc. 

    Note the model label appears to show BLS or BIS neither of which are known models. A previous serviceman has correctly written BBS on the inside side of the cabinet and this is consistant with the other brand models listed below.
