How this model is dated
01 / Witnesses

What applies here

Marks that can be entered for this maker: Transformer code.

02 / Bounds

The model year is a floor

Nothing predates 1954; components only push the date later.

03 / Value

What moves the price

Sold-price aggregates are not collected yet, so the archive gives no figure — condition, originality of the transformers and a documented recap move this model more than any list price.
