I remember hearing this radio for the first time many,many years ago and I was struck by the sound quality.No sharp sizzling sound so often heard from japanese radios with push-pull output stages full of crossover distortion due to almost nonexistent quiescent current.
I just had to open it and find out what caused the good sound quality and to my surprise I spotted a single OC26 and a output transformer.
Good old ckass A with a standing current of 0.5 amps!
