  • Similar to Million G-401

    Case is similar to KOBE KT-6 (see marking on the back) but with a 4 transistor chassis and very early Hitachi versions though KOBE KOGYO (Brand: TEN) already developed a lot of own transistor types at this time.

    Replacement battery Cat. No. R-7244

    The case was inspiration for the German RFT model Sternchen 57/69TT, although the circuit technology differs significantly.
