Your comment sent me to the bathroom vanity, where, in a bottom drawer, my
wife has an old transistor radio with leather case and with a slightly
cracked case back. On the front is "ALL TRANSISTOR" on the back is "NT-6B
Nippon Electric Co., Ltd. JAPAN". Does anyone collect old Japanese
transistor radios? This one still works, but probably doesn't put out more
than about 50 mw of sound.
