Small Transistor Radio collection
Small in the size of the radios, and the size of the collection, but I intend to increase it as I find them.
I do not have many transistor radios, but I do like them, and buy them when I see them. Here are some of the ones I have not pictured yet. All described left to right. Times Sputnik AM Radio, Panasonic AM-FM pocket(top) Radio, Sony AM "Cube" Radio(bottom), and RCA FM-AM Radio(I use this one a lot). http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3..._0999small.jpg Miracle Whip AM Radio, Coca-cola AM Radio, and a Stutz bearcat AM "Car" Radio(front). http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3..._1000small.jpg GE AM Radio, Truetone AM Radio, Zephyr AM Radio, Elgin 10 Transistor AM Radio http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3..._1001small.jpg Sears Silvertone AM Radio, SuperiorSonic AM Radio, Gala AM Radio, Nobility AM Radio(My personal favorite of all). http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3..._1002small.jpg |
Hey, I do like that Sony cube!!! Nice collection!
|
Thanks! The Sony cube sounds spectacular for the size, and pulls more AM stations than most of my other transistor radios.
|
Our radio station, K105, gave away 105 (get it?) Sony FM Cube radios when we signed on back in '70. All of them were avacado green.

Alex, I LOVE that Panasonic AM/FM!!! :thmbsp: Gorgeous!
Hm... methinks I have an ancient Continental AM pocket radio stashed away somewhere... Tom |
Thanks Tom!
The Panasonic is a good performer too! I wanna see the continental! :D |
I love that Zephyr. I've been trying to find some reverse-painted radios like it...but no luck so far.

Excellent collection - really brings back some memories. I think we had the Miracle Whip radio - haven't thought of that one in years! In the late 60's I remeber having a can shaped translucent blue transistor radio. It was kind of like a see-through can made of blue plexiglass with the speaker mounted on top like a lid and the controls on the lower section. It was cool because you could see the electronics inside through the blue plexi. I think it was either a GE or Panasonic - ever seen one in your travels?

I too like the pink Zephyr. Great looking set. I have a feeling your collection will grow quickly. It's an addiction that's hard to shake :)
I started with one, then two, three, four, etc etc.....Then I needed more shelves and more display space.....and so on. http://www.flickr.com/photos/transistor_radios/ |
