[NJARC] National Union radios

[Joe Cro N3IBX]

Hello Al,
             I stand corrected on this, but I believe National Union only 
made 1 or possibly 2 models of radios just about right after the end of 
WWII, around 1946/47. Their radio(s) turn up from time to time, but it seems 
that they weren't the success in the radio business as they were 
manufacturing and selling their own tubes. My educated guess is they 
scuttled their foray into manufacturing radios and re-concetrated their 
efforts into making tubes. N.U. was even subcontracted to by outfits like 
Western Electric and others to make tubes for them when their production was 
at capacity and they needed more product.

Like I mentioned: "I stand corrected" on this, but I believe my info is 
pretty accurate.

Regards,
             Joe Cro N3IBX
