[NJARC] National Union radios

[w2wiq1 at juno.com]

HI:

NATIONAL UNION WAS A VACUUM TUBE MANUFACTURER.THE MANUFACTURING FACILITY WAS LOCATED ON VALLEY ROAD,ORANGE,N.J.1942 I WORKED FOR NIDISCO PARTS IN THEIR JERSEY CITY STORE. I WAS ONLY 18 AT THAT TIME. THEY SOLD ONLY RCA AND NATIONAL UNION TUBES.THE ONLY UNIT THEY MANUFACTURED TO MY KNOWLEDGE AT THAT TIME WAS A SMALL COMPACT AUDIO AMPLIFIER WITH 1 MICROPHONE AND 1 PHONO CHANNEL.IT HAD AN EXCELLENT TONE CONTROL CIRCUIT. I REMEMBER SELLING SEVERAL OF THEM TO RECORD STORES AND EVEN INSTALLED THEM ON MY OWN. DURING WWII RECORD SALES WAS A BIG BUSINESS AND WITH THE SPEAKER INSTALLED OUTSIDE THE STORE PASSERSBY COULD HEAR WHAT WAS PLAYING.

Why is it that I see National Union brand tubes all over Eb*y, but I
never see a National Union Radio there (or anywhere else)?  Are they
rare, or too common to be of interest?  Thanks.
