  • Notes

  • The NAMCO 3-Way Portable Radio model D-112 was one of 3 similar models, D-110, D-111, and D-112. All 3 models had the same 3-way power, and the differences are unknown but most likely had different cabinet cover materials or colors.

    The D-112 has solid brass lock and hardware, with Burma-brown simulated grain leather over wood.

    All 3 models had the same chassis and 3-way voltage requirements. The battery option used an A battery [6V Eveready 747] and B batteries [2 x 45V Eveready 492's (90V series)], all contained within the radio with access through the back panel.
