In terms of appearance, the CN429 (top photo) and CN434 (bottom photo) are almost identical - some are called 'Lady Margaret' on the internal specification label and others not - Vidor seem to have been inconsistent on this point. The CN429 dates from around 1954-55 whilst the CN434 seems to be the c.1958 model.
429/434 was also available as a 'De-Luxe' model - the only difference, seemingly, being a slight change to deck by the addition of another coloured plate around the controls..
The model was avaliable in a variety of colours - including dark/light green & cream as well as the usual pinky-red & cream. There is no conventional on/off switch as the lid stay operates a switch inside the case, instead of making a 'warning tone' as most other Vidors did.
