Show us your vintage pocket transistor radios!

[Greg Davis]

I have WAAAAY too many transistor radios to show them all. I am particularly fond of my Toshibas though.

Figured I'd give this thread a bump since it's been four years :-)

Probably a good thing you did!
Maybe there'll be some action again. Every old radio collector I know has a few of them.

I have a few. Here's the one that came with me to work this morning:



GE P110-D I think. 6 transistor, 2 AA batteries, cleaned up and re-capped!

See the way the tuning knob is held on. It makes a lot of sense!
It runs on two penlite cells. A lot better battery life than a nine volt battery.

A few I put out for display. They are all functional, with a hundred more in storage. Lack of space now , but I'm working on it- I know, I need to dust!

I have a Silvertone like that.
IIRC, it has a three gang tuner tuned RF stage. One of the few Silvertone radios built by Warwick.
Most were made by Arvin.

Got a pair of "junk" Sanyos. RP1280 (white) and RP1100.

Both were sold as non-working. Cleaned contacts and they work fine(ish). Replaced caps in the 1280, and on the to do list in the 1100 - it's not quite right.

Rayburn, that is an awesome display case!

Thank You, Charlie!
