Amazing in today's world where phones and tablets become obsolete due to software issues in just 8 yrs or less, I still listen and enjoy my 54 yr old Sony radio every day, and drive my 35 yr old Toyota often. Goes to show the Japanese were not just giving quality of design and manufacturing lip service.

I’m 73 and my parents bought me a radio for Christmas one year, it was a pocket radio but it would only work when it wire and alligator clamp was hooked to a ground I would take it to school with me and I hooked it to guide wires or the metal slide and best i remember it had a speaker That was in the mid to late 50s and I’ve never saw another one like it it looked like a regular 6 transistor radio

Japanese quality control was formidable. I worked in the camera business in the 60s and 70s and they made the very best equipment. By the early 70s, the European camera Industry was no more. Not only was the quality there, but parts and service availability was top notch.

I have a ton of early transistor radios. I always looked for them at yard sales. My first radio was a Motorola in something like 1958 or 1959 and I spent many a night in bed seeing how many stations I could pick up....the further the better.. Always look for the ones with the conelrad markings on the dial.

My first transistor radio was from a gas station promotion and had their logo.

I'm old enough to remember those promos. Even though those custom logo radios were popular in the 1960's, they were purpose built and low quality, even in the standards of the day. BUT, to have one today would make it quite a collector's item!

1963, back of the school bus with my 7 transistor radio. Bus driver didn't mind. Kept the kids quiet. KYA Radio, 1260 am with Russ the Moose Syracuse. KEWB, channel 91.

Great video! If i had a collection or radios like yours, I'd never sleep or go anywhere. I'm listening to a 1963 3 Band Hi Fi Brownie right now. All original parts, plays beautifully.

Very cool. I really enjoyed it. Interesting little booklet. Was surprised it told of Short Wave. I almost laughed as it started on Japanese radios, had to be some promotional something from “ Japanese Trade Commission” - or some such entity. I was right 😁 Nice collection of radios mixed in as well. Very well done. 📻🙂

Thank you. I found this brochure while looking through my stuff for research material for other videos. I thought it would make a good video in itself--decorated with radios and other graphics. I'm delighted that you and others think so too.

My mother was the proud owner of the second transistor radio sold in our city, as the wholesaler was a friend of my dad's. It was a Hitachi six transistor, and sounded much better than the much less expensive model that came out later. But the nine volt battery was hard to find at the time.

FLYING BOMB battery I would keep those after they were spent as I though they look special, latter in life I thought what a strange name to call a battery after the H Bomb did so much damage to Japan. Voluntarily adopting a tight Quality control was a smart move, Japan ernt their reputation by not dumping junk on foreign markets. I have worked with Toyota doing predictive maintenance and machine MTBF analysis and they were the only company which understood their machines and human vulnerabilities and adapted accordingly. Unlike Boeing. I noticed you have a Sony Earth Orbiter multi band radio, nice set but be aware the plastic racks that operate the band switching are prone to cracking. Lovely collection you have. Thank's for another few minutes of calm retrospection.
