• Notes

• "Harmonic" RL215 "

  "Harmonic" is the radio which incorporates design features originally developed in space research. The integrated circuit for instance, provides 17 transistors, 6 diodes, 27 resistors and two capacitors in a tiny unit about the same size as a pin head. Magnificent reception, ultra long life and dramatic styling make "Harmonic" a magnificent radio.

  As well as the tuned circuits, there is a ceramic resonator.
