When the first all transistor black and white tv? 19 inch
I found this Philips 19TX430AT in the Netherlands, here it is the first TV where no tubes were used, only one for high voltage rectification. This model came on the market here in 1964, mine is from February 1965.
The TV has a 19-inch picture tube and can also be used on 12 volts DC, but also has 220 volts AC. These TVs are very rare here in Europe, the new price was very high. Now the question, were there any other manufacturers in that period that made all transistor TVs? It took until the early 1970s for the tubes to disappear. They were manufacturers in the 60s that made all transistors, but they were mini TVs. But a 19-inch all-transistor TV from 1964/1965 seems very special to me.
