Hi List
Dan Rae seems to think that "I recently bought one of these interesting
receivers, which incidentally, must qualify as one of the earliest, if not
the earliest Premium Rx, (Vintage late 1978) only to discover that it has
lost one of the firmware eprom contents, and is thus totally dead, in other
words an ex-radio."
The WJ-8940B designed circa 1975 uses a DEC PDP-K11F as it's controller and
who knows what other Rxs lurk out there that may have been designed before
that (The WJ 8940B originally used magnetic core store for volatile values
the later models used SRAM + EEPROM - 1984)
Best regards to all
