Impressive finding this radio.
Rare, as i haven't been able to spot any more info anywhere around the internet so far.
The closest model to this one, is the TH-850 but it only has AM reception, no telescopic antenna and no fine tuning knob.
It was produced before the Hertz scale was adopted by radio manufacturers.
(e.g. KHz - MHz indication on the frequency search panels).
The term "cycles per second" was largely replaced by "hertz" around mid '60s.
To make it easier and shorter, the "per second" was omitted, so that "megacycles" (Mc) was used as an abbreviation of "megacycles per second" (that is, megahertz (MHz) and "kilocycles" (Kc) was used as an abbreviation of "kilocycles per second" (that is, kilohertz (KHz).
