    It is a great pity that the National brand is to be 'retired'. I have fond memories from the early to mid-1960s of the invasion of Japanese transistor radios into Australia, an invasion spearheaded by National, Sanyo, and to a lesser extent Sony (also Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, NEC, AIWA, Crown, Silver, Standard, Japan Victor Co., even a Yashica ([I had one]). I will miss the big N and the red lightning bolts and the National word. The electric fan in my air-conditioned office is an early 1970s National (Made in Japan) and it is still pressed into service when the air-con fails. Those days certainly seemed to be 'simpler'. Long live the brand name NATIONAL ! There is no real reason why you could not still serve us well. LeW
