  • Notes

  • RCA Victor 6 transistor AM radio.  US civil defense marks on station dial.  Operates with special VS-149 4-volt battery (or modern equivalent).

    Also found with "A" or "B" suffix such as JA-1A or JA-1B.

    The JA-1 model is nearly identical to the RCA Victor 3-H-10 radio.  It shares the same printed circuit board design, 962537-1, of many early RCA Victor transistor radios.  This JA model name is a deviation to the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4- naming system of RCA for transistor radios of the same era.

    RCA Victor RC-1199 and RC-1199A appear in 1961 Beitmans schematics.  The RC-1199D appears in the 1963 schematics.
