[NJARC] RCA 4 Volt Battery

[john ruccolo]

Hi Rich,

I can't answer your question, but I would like to
offer a comment.

I have the identical radio, and inside the back cover
is the ominous disclaimer: "CONTAINS SOME JAPANESE
PARTS". 

UH-OH -- that flushing sound you hear was the American
consumer electronics industry going down the drain.

Regards,

John R.
