In the ad it lists difference in the more expensive sets as having a V type antenna, a leather handle, and a "Living Image" picture; whatever that is. I guess those were worth an extra $15 back then.
The only difference I can see in the Sams is that some models had an extra RF choke on the plate of the 6CH8, and a different VHF-UHF tuner.
The only difference |
IIRC, there was a difference in the tuners, in the VHF only sets. Probably, the lower priced sets had a penthode tuner, instead of a cascode. I remember seeing that in the service manual.
The tuner takes up half of the chassis space. A full power transformer and 5U4 rectifier, in a 14" portable!
Look what GE and others got away with.
