Remarks

  • Variants:
It seems that there are up to 3 variants of the device. Depending on the year of manufacture the device is named differently. Whether technical differences exist is not known.
  • V 3840 - year of manufacture '76
in blue or anthracite with silver controllers and switches

V 3840-2 - year of manufacture '77

in blue or anthracite and anthracite controllers and switches

V 3840SE - year of manufacture '78

in black with silver knobs and switches

Noticeable on the last series is that the type designation has moved from the upper left corner to the lower left corner.
