George's Transistors...

Last Updated July 16,2006
I have included larger sized pictures of many of these sets. I have also included the image size to help you decide if you want to view them... This is going to be difficult, as my collection now numbers over 500 radios. I am also experimenting with the presentation, so please bear with me. Suggestions for improvement are most welcome! Here are some of my favorites...

Hoffman P411 Solar Radio (99K) - This radio is in absolutely fantastic condition!
Sony TR-6 (75K) - Very early Sony marketed in Canada. This radio was introduced in June of 1958. Approximately 34,000 were made. This set was sold in Canada, and carries the markings "Gendis Sony".
Gold Tone (68K) - 8 Transistor. This set is probably one of the most beautiful sets I own. The clear coating over the painted region is almost 1/8" thick! It gives a sence of depth whic makes this set really unique! This was obtained NIB!
Aiwa AR-500 (116K) - This set has a very unique styling. I love the design around the dial. This set was obtained at the Elgin IL show in 1995.
Top Notch TRN-60A (71K) - This set is very pretty design and use of light colors. It also is NIB..

Penny's 6TP-243 (56K) - Made by Toshiba
Toshiba 6TP-304 (33k) - Toshiba "Coffin"
Sony TR-63 (37K) - First Sony transistor radio imported into the US.
Regency TR-1 (Red) (46K) - World's first commercial transistor radio.
Regency TR-1 (Green/White) (74K) - This is one of the set of Regency TR-1's given as gifts by Michael Todd. I know of 4 which have turned up so far. This set was given to Arthur Miller. At the time I acquired it, I did not know what I had. It was only after talking with other collectors, that its importance was understood. I have included several pictures of this set; the gift binder/case (18K), radio in the gift case (31K), and inside the radio (66K). I hope to be providing more information about this set in the near future
Hitachi TH-621 (34K) - As far as I can tell, this is Hitachi's first set. I have found it in four colors to date, salmon, mint green, white, and tan.
NEC NT-61 (25K) 1960
NEC NT-620 (35K) 1960
