differences between the victor and the jvc version:

only 3 bands instead of 6 and no counter memory

It would be great to find out more detailed informations about the suffixes.

-C -----only 120V
-WH ---only 240V

Right. It's the "S" version.

30W

well Jens, you have changed the name of the topic - now it's a " ... rc550..." thread,
but i answered to the "JVC / VICTOR and details & differences/suffixes" speaking about "JVC" in general,
in case of RC550 i'm not sure there are WH and C versions.

and another difference on 550LM, and 550L (LB ?) - they have an extra switch (tape selector) on the top.

One more suffix to add to your master list: KL





In this case, I think it's fair to assume that the "K" stands for "klock" ("C" was already taken for the Canada version) and the "L" for "longwave." Which is a far cry from knowing what all the JVC suffixes stand for... if they stand for anything!! (I've always thought the "W" might stand for "world," but who knows???)

Blasterpunk, could you post close up pics (tape selector area) of the top panels of these boxes, please?
