I have another Japanese radio that I forgot I had. The brand is National and it's an AM/SW receiver with dual speakers, a colorful face with blue and red numbers and a clear blue dial, and even a tuning eye! There is also inputs for a phonograph. All the righting on the back is in Japanese. The radio works pretty good, although the volume control needs a little spray in it. IIRC, i never did anything to it other than clean it up. Someone in the past made a repair to the bottom of the cabinet using epoxy... aparently there was a crack in it.

The tuning eye is a 12ZE8. I havent' found this number anywhere, and no substitutes. I'd like to get a fresh one as this one is very weak. If someone comes across a listing for this tube, please let me know.

The rest of the tube line-up is 12be6,12ba6,12av6, 30a5, and 19a3.

The front of the dial glass says Wide Sonic All Wave. Wow doesn't that sound fancy!

Sorry, the photo is a little fuzzy due to camera malfunction... damn piece of crap!
