VERY interesting, and puzzling. The label is obviously correct. It must be a model 56, although I cannot find this model in the gallery, nor find its schematic on Nostalgia Air, nor does a Duck-Duck-Go search produce any real information about this model. I defer to our Phorum experts. Perhaps they can shed light on this question. I'm intrigued. I have a feeling this must be a fairly rare model. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread.
There was one of these sets on the Phorum maybe a yr or so ago... I think the poster was in the UK.
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
