  • Very similar to Cambridge AC-DC and Alco AC-DC.

    Externally similar to other models listed under Nipco 8 Transistors

    As observed for the peculiar Omsco Hi-Fi 10 Transistors, which could be the prototype of the subsequent similar models, even this Omsco has some peculiarities (such as AC-DC and 7 transistors only) which could make it the prototype of all the "Jet Wing" models.
