Description: Product Description Experience the craftsmanship and technology of pre-war Japan with this fully restored National radio. This product is not a replica. Manufactured by Matsushita Electric (now Panasonic), as you know. This is a product from the early Showa period of the company, which still exists today. The National Receiver is a radio that was released in 1935 before the war, but it seems that there were two patterns of the same model, a 3-tube regenerative model and a 4-tube high-1 regenerative model, and the model being exhibited this time is the 4-tube high-1 regenerative model. The cabinet has a back cover and there is almost no damage such as missing parts. The compact body, carved with very beautiful curves and stripes, which are said to be symmetrical midget (miniature) type unique to this era, is also excellent as a work of art and crafts. In addition, the carvings on the speaker grill, which resemble ancient Persian characters, are very impressive. This radio was priced at 27 yen when it was released, which is equivalent to about 55,000 yen in today's value (according to the Bank of Japan website). As the name suggests, it was a popular model, and was like the iPHONE SE in today's smartphones. It's a pity to let it go, but I've decided to put it up for sale due to space constraints. When it came to my house, contrary to its appearance, the inside was really worn out. The electrolytic capacitors were leaking, the speaker cone paper was torn, the voice coil was broken, and the wiring was hardened and in tatters. I didn't give up for those who wanted to hear the sound of that time again, and with love and perseverance, I successfully restored it. Fortunately, I was able to get hold of the original circuit diagram, so I replaced and adjusted almost all of the electronic parts other than the transformer, variable capacitor, coil, and speaker, and also repainted it and replaced the speaker and net. And finally, the brilliance and sound of the time have been restored. The receiving circuit is regenerative, so the sensitivity and volume are by no means good compared to modern radios, but the soft sound from the vacuum tube will take you back to the prewar period. The deteriorated electronic parts have been replaced with new ones, so you can use it with peace of mind. Let's keep it going for a little longer as long as radio broadcasts continue. If you get tired of AM medium wave radio, you can connect an iPod or other music player and listen to it, and experience a mysterious, other-dimensional sensation. Whether you enjoy displaying it, listen to the radio every day, or connect a music player and get lost in the retro sounds, everyone is welcome to enjoy the slow life. This item is not a replica. It is the first of two genuine National radio receivers that I inherited from an acquaintance. The manufacturer is the well-known Matsushita Electric (now Panasonic). This product dates back to the early Showa era of the company, which still exists today. The National radio receiver is a radio that was released in 1935 before the war. It seems there were two variations of the same model, one with a 3-tube regeneration system and the other with a 4-tube RF amplified regeneration system The model being offered this time is the 4-tube regenerative type. Please vote either one by "watch" button The cabinet has almost no damage or missing parts. The compact body, known as the Midget (miniature) type with a distinctive left-right symmetry typical of that era, is exceptionally beautiful and can be considered a work of art. The ancient Persian-like carvings on the speaker grille are also very impressive. Priced at 27 yen at the time of release, equivalent to about 55,000 yen today (based on the Bank of Japan's HP) This radio is a popular model, as the name suggests, and could be likened to what we now refer to as the iPhone SE. Despite the reluctance to part with it, space constraints prompted me to list it for sale. When it arrived at our home, the circuitry was really in a terrible condition despite the outward appearance. Electrolytic capacitors were leaking, the cone paper of the speaker was torn, and the wiring had hardened. It seemed almost impossible to restore, but for those who wanted to hear the sound of that time again, I persevered with love and patience, and successfully restored it. Fortunately, we were able to obtain the circuit diagram from that time, so we replaced and adjusted almost all electronic components except for vacuum tubes, transformers, variable capacitors, coils, and the speaker. Additionally, we performed repainting and replaced the speaker grille. Finally, the brilliance and sound of that time were revived. The reception circuit, being a regeneration type, may not have as good sensitivity The volume and sound volume of modern radios, but the soft sound from the vacuum tubes will make you feel like you've slipped back in time. The degraded electronic components have been replaced with new ones, so you can use it with peace of mind. As long as radio broadcasts continue, let's continue to enjoy a bit more. If you get tired of AM medium-wave broadcasts, you can connect a music player like an iPod and experience the strange sensation of an alternate dimension. Whether you want to decorate and enjoy, listen to the radio every day, or immerse yourself in retro music by connecting a music player, everyone, please enjoy a slow life.

An external antenna for receiving is absolutely necessary, so please arrange it yourself. Depending on the receiving location, all you need to do is install a lead wire of 5m or more outdoors and connect it to the antenna terminal (AS/AM/AL). The sensitivity is not very good, but I was able to receive the key stations in Tokyo. ② The product is what is shown in the photo.
