These all date from the 60's and played a big role in the music revolution. When I was a kid, everyone had one and listened to AM because the few FM stations only had classical music (I have since learned to appreciate classical music).
Originally invented in 1954 as a team effort from two different companies (Texas Instruments and another place out of Indianapolis, maybe Ideal??) they were soon on every kids wish list.
The later versions had FM but with only one speaker, you would not get the stereo effect.
These were replaced by the Sony Walkman in the 1970's.
You can still get a transistor radio today but, they do not have the styling that the originals had.

While on lock down, I was playing around with camera and flash. I'm noticing that the images seem in focus on the right side and soft on the left side...I was shooting at f6.3 from about three foot with a 24-70mm zoomed all the way in. Maybe I should have stopped down a little more or focused a little more into the center of the image. I also could have moved the camera back a little.
Thanks for looking.
