Maco AB-100

Here's a recent $10 find. A real bargain for an early Matsushita radio......branded under the Maco name.

 

A superb example of Japanese industrial design.

This six transistor radio was on the market in 1959/60.

 

National was Matushita's original brand, chosen in 1925 by the company’s founder Konosuke Matsushita. the name Panasonic was introduced as a brand name in 1955 for export purposes. It was under the Panasonic banner that Matsushita first began to flood the North American and European markets in the early 60s.

 

This radio is commonly found under the National brand name with the same model number.
