There are 5 different versions with slight adjustments (produced, e.g., in addition to long-wave) for different markets.
It is unclear whether the version in gray was offered at all, since no images of such a version can be found on the Internet (as of July 2024).
A one-off production with a silver metal front, engraved lettering and a red display is known from Switzerland. This was apparently made at the customer's request, so that the tuner could be combined with a threshold system (or similar) optically matched.
