I was working on a Grunow 470 (General Household Utilities Co., Riders Vol. 
VI, page 6-2) at the clinic.  Here's how the Service Instructions read:

NOTE:  Due to interference caused by commercial code stations in some 
locations, it has been necessary to use two I.F. frequencies on this receiver, one of 
490 K.C. where code interference is in the neighborhood of 455 K.C. and the 
other where the interfering stations are operating in the 500 K.C. band, we use 
an I.F. of 465 K.C.

The note goes on to say that the IF frequency is stamped on the rear of the 
chassis.

Hope this helps...Marv
