The National (also known as Panasonic or Matsushita in other countries) JR series was pretty popular in Japan. Small quantities were sold outside Japan, in New Zeland among other countries.
|
||
|
||
Little is known about the first system of the range (please help!). It was obviously an initiation machine with black & white display and rubber keyboard.
|
||
|
||
The JR 100 was followed by the [JR 200](/museum/matsushita-national-jr-200/).
|
||
|
||
Thanks to **Murray Moffatt** from New Zeland for most of the information and pictures.
