Dear Friends Some days ago a friend gave me a portable transistor radio set. Muxima, Model 412N
I guess that it was bought in Angola, several years ago. MUXIMA means heart in "Kimbundu" , the old Angola's dialect.. This radio was made in Japan, or in Angola by license of a Japanese maker. That's what I've infered from the reference graved in its plastic box. But that reference is unusual. JAPAN 757. Also the manufacturer's name is missed. Do you know what 757 means? Have you seen any Japanese reference look like this one? 757 may be the manufacturer's code? Thank you in advance for any information. Regards Mario Coelho |

Dear OMs, Sorry,I can not identify the radio manufacture from the pictures though all parts installed on the board are clealy made in Japan. The words TAKADA MUSEN on the IFT shows manufacture's name' of this IFT in that period and Japanese MUSEN means 'wireless' like Yaesu Musen. I'll send the URL to some Japanese who have the webs for the antique radios to be identified the radio manufacture.The results will be sent to this page soon. So, it would need more times to get additional infomations on this matter. Thank you. regards, Y.Matsuzaka--JA1ATL |

Dears Friends As information, I present two transistor radios sets recently gotten in Portuguese flea markets. The references engraved in the plastic box of the follow one, in my opinion, show indubitably that "Tokiwa Electrical Industries Co. Ltd" is the 725 Japanese maker. The other follow one, similary to the "Muxima" radio set, show that the 517 Japanese maker manufactured the 655 model radio set to the "Royal" Germany brand. With this information, I hoope to help on to a good decision about upload the models of Japanese Manufacturer's 757, 725, 517. Best Regards Silvestre |

Thank you very much Silvestre for your help. Now we have alredy three numbers from a list. That list ought to exist.
Unfortunately, after all these days we haven't yet that list from Japan. Nevertheless we have three identification numbers which correspond to three Japanese makers. For one of them we know a name : Tokiwa Electrical Industries Co. Ltd. I think that if you wish, you may create : "Tokiwa Electrical Industries Co. Ltd". (Japan 725). as a new maker in Rmorg. But we don't know yet the name of the other two makers,though we know their identification numbers. No doubt about that numbers. I wonder if may we cause any inconvenience to open in Rmorg temporary the other two makers as “Japan 517” and “Japan 757” till the day we may get the Japanese list? Regards Mario Meanwhile I found another code number Japan 304 in a RINSING set model BP-815 (waiting for acceptance in Rmorg pages). More: Meanwhile I've found in Rmorg three transistor radios JT-602 . Two of them are Orion and one is Belson brand.
By the way , I've one Orion with the same (model number?) JT-602..... But this model number (if it is for sure the model number ) is a little larger : JT-602 JAPAN But, If one pay attention, inside, on the chassis, is TR -108 D2 Questions: Could Orion and Belson sets be made in the same factory ? Then JT-602 JAPAN should be their code number and TR -108 D2 should be this Orion Model number. I put the same questions when I see this code number JT-602 also in a very different radio in this site: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1031/trans/cool/Signal.html

Neckermann Luxus Cassette recoder 823/147 with No. 515 on the Botton An Universum (Quelle) Order Nr 02729 RadioRecorder japanese manufactured with the Number 718 on the Botton Sometimes the Criterium of Japan manufactures are the ORDER NUMBER on the PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD, not the Number on the Cover ! Not the GCMK Number on the P.C.Board FUNAI Videorecorder VCR 4000, VCR 4500 Videorecorder FUNAI with the CVC Cassette,Typenumber unknown The nearly same Recorders named Grundig VP 100, Siemens FM 500, Technicolor CVC, Universum CVC RecorderType unknown.

We list a product there where a collector looks for. In most cases this is the country of production and sales. In later years production was outsourced. In that case: If there are differencies on a set AND it is also sold/advertised in that country of origin then we may open a new brand/manufacturer name for that country. We may have some problems with this in certain cases like for Grundig which brand was sold to a company in Turkey. See model 75TE which is listed in Germany and in Turkey by good reasons. You just have to look at the back wall the different origins - both for export ... Grundig had also its works in England and you find schematics etc. in the UK. Some models then are naturally also found twice, like the model 2035... in Germany and the UK. |

This thread has grown too long and I have tried to delete some posts without loosing information.
I have received different theories - but not yet an evidence:
We still miss an official document, proving that MITI stands behind this - but it is most probable. We don't know if the code was given for a certain product line, a company, a group - but by collecting those numbers over a longer period we might find out. |

Dear Mario, dear all, I strongly recommend to mention such code not only in the remarks. It is even more useful in either one of the two searchable fields: Model name or Model type. The latter I would prefer. The entry shhould be in brackets (Japan XXX) That permits to search for a listing of all models being manufactured by the quoted manufacturer, regardless under whatever name it was marketed. Such a search must ignore the country and manufacturer to be entered. Only the model field would see (Japan XXX). Note:
I prepared a model sheet for your "Muxima" to show what I mean. Please complete it with all available data/ info. |

Very recently I contacted METI (formerly MITI) in Japan to ask them for information about the codes for radio manufacturers and to send me the complete and accurate list. They answered me that they were not aware of any list with code numbers for radio manufacturers, but nevertheless they will try to find more information. |

Dear David At least I don't know the system and we try to get facts, but have never found a real list. Maybe it is all in Japanese. I add your model to code 704, because only if we can match a lot of models and link to "both sides" we might get a better picture later. Best would naturally be if somebody comes up with that official list. Even then it would be of interest which models were built under which Japan code. You might add to the model that we believe it is built by Sanyo for code 704. April 10, 2018: I entered all into post 8 what came after this and above and deleted the entries of David Erali, Martin Kent and Holger Ortmann with quite a few "connections"! Rhanks! This then forces to write a new post, so that i can fill in into the list because of the automatic message of the server I asked for. Thank you very much that you have entered your knowledge also to the models and made links. Perfect! |

Update: An example has been added for Japan 502, Matsushita (Panasonic, National) in post #8 and linked to the model. Also "big players" such as the company Matsushita was therefore assigned a Miti code. |

I have made a spreadsheet to sort codes by number and also by brand. I have omitted specific models since there are too many. PDF files are attached. Please let me know if there are any comments or corrections. We have little info regarding the manufacturers. A few new models as follows: Airline GEN-1329A has code 705. RCA RJG-15Y has code 703 Commodore TW-88 has code 205 Valiant TR-1508 has code 903 Juliette MPR-3307 has code 707 RCA RZM 178T has code 302 RCA RZM 188E has code 302 RCA RZM 193 has code 705 Lloyds 6K89D has code 713 Masterwork 10 has code 708 Bradford WTG-89094 has code 501 Bradford WTG-60715 has code 501 Midland 10-405 has code 902 Alaron B-2500 has code 903 Attachments

Most probably Tokai Wireless Co. Ltd. can be allocated to the Miti Code 513, interestingly models branded with Tokai itself doesn't show this code. However, the sub-brand Life Tone (and also some models distibuted by Neckermann Versand, Germany) show it. The entry for Miti 513 in post #8 has been edited with a new link. Also added: Japan 716, found at model Wien Sport 9 Transistor and a Realtone branded model. |
