TRANSISTOR RADIO DESIGN

This scintillating Toshiba 6TP-304 was manufactured in Japan in 1959. It is one of the most famous and desirable transistor radios ever made!

Featuring absolutely devastating state of the art design this Toshiba puts the fear of God into other transistor radios and reduces most to quivering little two transistor sets with melt marks on their posteriors!

The design team at Toshiba really surpassed all expectations with this radio. Not only is it one of the most stunning and remarkable radios of all time I believe it is also one of the greatest looking electronic gadgets ever made. What a sensational feat of transistorized design from 1959!

This Toshiba has been nicknamed the ‘Coffin’ but that doesn't really do it justice. Apart from the unique cabinet shape the radio also features a vertical under-painted slide rule tuning dial. The style of lettering used on the tuning dial is very uncommon for this time period and is yet another reason why this radio was way ahead of its time and the competition.

The front of the cabinet is neatly divided into four visually stimulating sections separated by a gold band and there is a neat little cloisonné badge at the bottom right of the speaker grill.

It measures just 4.3” H x 2.5” W.

The label located on the inside of the back cover says it all.
