  • Notes
  • This radio could be the prototype of all the 6T-160 models: Constant, Vulcan, Personna, Neckermann.

    Somewhat similar to other 6T horizontal models: 6T-200 reported here, 6T210 reported here and 6T-220 reported here.

    See also the 6T vertical models which probably come from the same manufacturer: 6T180, 6T250, 6T270, 6T330.

    While additional proofs are necessary, the presence of an AFCO model among these radios (6T-330) and among the Hi-Fi 10 Transistors (MTR-106), makes possible that Zephyr/Global was also involved in the manufacture of the huge series of models summarized under Nipco 101.
