• Notes
• This model was first released all wave set of Victor after the war. The name "Reimei" means "dawn". This name was expression of engineer's hope to new era. This set used 6A7 to converter. This was rare case. The quality of Japanese 6A7 was poor to use short wave band. Victor Co., of Japan was subsidiary of Toshiba that was biggest tube manufacturer in Japan. And the factory of Victor placed near by the factory of Toshiba. They probably could get high quality tubes. Short wave band from 4 to 22Mc was separated to 4 bands to realize easy tuning. They called "band spread". RCA Victor used such design in early 1940's. Victor Co., of Japan was subsidiary of RCA Victor until 1939. They probably knew such design from RCA.
