The success of transistor radios led to transistors replacing vacuum tubes as the dominant electronic technology in the late 1950s. [28] The transistor radio went on to become the most popular electronic communication device of the 1960s and 1970s. Billions of transistor radios are estimated to have been sold worldwide between the 1950s and ...
The all-transistor car radio was a $150 option. [51] [52] [53] The Sony TR-63, released in 1957, was the first mass-produced transistor radio, leading to the mass-market penetration of transistor radios. [54] The TR-63 went on to sell seven million units worldwide by the mid-1960s. [55]
The RCA model R7 Superette superheterodyne table radio. This is a list of notable radios, which encompasses specific models and brands of radio transmitters, receivers and transceivers, both actively manufactured and defunct, including receivers, two-way radios, citizens band radios, shortwave radios, ham radios, scanners, weather radios and airband and marine VHF radios.
Regency TR-1 transistor radio. The Regency TR-1 was the first commercially manufactured transistor radio, introduced in 1954. Despite mediocre performance, about 150,000 units were sold, due to the novelty of its small size and portability.
The reflex receiver, invented in 1914 by Wilhelm Schloemilch and Otto von Bronk, [136] and rediscovered and extended to multiple tubes in 1917 by Marius Latour [136] [137] and William H. Priess, was a design used in some inexpensive radios of the 1920s [138] which enjoyed a resurgence in small portable tube radios of the 1930s [139] and again ...
In the 1960s, company best seller products became transistor radio receivers. One of the most famous was the Koliber model. In 1969, three- band receiver models were available ( Dominika and Izabella ), as previous radios could only receive two bands, low frequency and medium wave , and a year later the Laura 4-band receiver came into production.
Somewhat later, farm radios were made to be run on 6 V from a car or tractor battery, using an electromechanical vibrator to create a pulsating DC current that could be stepped up through a transformer to create the high voltage needed for the plates of the tubes- exactly as contemporary car radios did. Other farm radios were designed to run on ...
The Regency TR-1, which used Texas Instruments' NPN transistors, was the world's first commercially produced transistor radio in 1954. Size: 3×5×1.25 inch (7.6×12.7×3.2 cm) Following development of transistor technology, bipolar junction transistors led to the development of the transistor radio.
