• Notes
• This pocket transistor radio, "RITA 6 Transistor", model 6TR6, has been made in Hong Kong. We don't know by which manufacturer it has been produced. But we know that in the SAMS Photofact Transistor Radio Series TSM-55 from June 1965 it is listed with the name SHAW instead of RITA. For having a "haven" for it, we list it under Shaw in the USA - until we have prove by whom it was manufactured or by whom (brand) it was imported and sold. The driver transistor is not given.
