National Panasonic Model RF-541, AM/FM Portable Radio, Early 1970´s , Made in Japan by MATSUCHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.
Simple but nice receiver with metal/ plastic combination on the front and black horizontal cabinet with telescopic antenna and wrist estrap .
The chassis has eigth transistors: four of germanium in the AF amplification stages; and four very small silicon wafer type in RF/IF stages. I have seen these small silicon transistors in audio stages of the MICRONIC RUBY sets.
It requires a 9V square battery or external DC 9V and works well on both bands.
