Version
February 1960
In
the other parts the leaflets are identical.
During
the production, the developing tank had only two variations. The developing
tanks with serial numbers white numbers and serial number red. The red number are with 6 and 5 digit, the white numbers only 5 digit near to 33XXX. These have the inferior part a bit lower than those with
white numbers. From a more careful examination it seems that the two fusions
are different in the dimensions that in some other aesthetic particulars.
Probably after a first series was prepared a new mould for the fusion.
The two variations of the Developing tank
The
Developing Tank was sold with this packaging, inside there were the leaflets
in Italian and English language and two spares flanges to attach the film.
The
last Developing Tanks were sold in a different box. Inside there are the leaflets
