For many years 465 KHz was standard in single
conversion consumer receivers (tubes and solid state).
Copied from other west european manufacturers...


That makes sense. I've got a Grundig with an IF of 460 kHz. I figured the
difference had something to do with the European 9 kHz MW channel spacing
and the possibility of interference from IF harmonics. Don't know for sure,
though. 465 used to be common in the US before WW2. I doubt there's much
practical difference.
