YES, call it the "first Italian BW meeting"
could be excessive, but from somewhere all things are started
:)
To know some italian BW fans its always a pleasure to meet
and exchange ideas and experiences.
We meet on 13th December in this place on the Rimini's hills
we have a good dinner on a typical "Osteria" restaurant
and carry on with us our precious sets.
All the versions of the BW were
presents, from right to left: first my Union Jack "black
chromed", "militar green" last series (see
below) and "grey chromed", the middle series (click
on the pic to enlarge).
We discuss between a Sangiovese
wine and local plates about four hours or so on on BW, tricks,
old DX experiences, other receivers and...life :)
Was an enjoyable encounter with Giampaolo Galassi and Fabrizio
Magrone, two really prepared SWLs :) knowed thru the BW
site. Their Faiallo
DX Group is a well knowed DX group in Italy.
Hope me that next time will be
more and more, all with his own trusted BW :)

The reading dial drums are slight narrower with
different lettering than other two version. A thin
transparent plastic film cover the drums lettering.

the FM
tuner (another misknowed spot of BW) is no more
that a cheap FM set without AF stage, mounted
on top of BW and connected with some loosy cable
to BW's AF stage and supply. When you push on
the button on the left, the AF stage and supply
is switched from BW to FM Tuner and viceversa.
Due not
omni-directional nature of FM waves, straight
antenna is replaced with a typical foldable one.

Internally, green BW is not so different from
other versions. Only remarkeable difference is
the two different VC's now mounted perpendicularly
about circuit board and, of course, the IC AF
stage instead transistorized one.

Unluckly the set was lacking
its serial number, so I have listed it into BW
World Register with
a "-" in the end of list.
Here is another nice green BW
from Mike Maghakian:
