Ya know your post has got me wondering, I wonder if this is a 6c-1 model, matsushita might have been so eager to offer a transistor radio for sale "even at a loss" that they bought xsistors from philips just to not be leftout, Sony offered it's first transistor radio in 1955 and it is better to be second place rather than last place
Seiko did the same thing with the first quartz watch, "Astron" i think they only made 100 of them at a loss but made up the cost in prestige and technology on 2nd gen models.
