Fifties Radio: Early Transistor Radios

This site features colorful images of Japanese and American-made transistor radios from the 1950s. Before diving into the radios, however, be sure to check out the three retro videos on American industrial design (under 'history') to get in the mood! Then click on the radios link and scroll down to the alphabetical radio listing to discover great photos of dozens of models, like the Zephyr ZR-930, Sony TR-810, RCA GB550, Kobe Kogyo KT-63, and so on. Each page includes multiple views, and often extra images of the original box or other documentation.
