I like this. It looks 'out there' like it should be o Buck Rogers (for the oldies that remember that show) ?

Not sure you're correct there, Mick.

 

In 1959, my father gave me a transistor radio when I was shipped off to boarding school.  It was about 10" wide, 6" high & 3" thick - with a hinged carrying handle above.

 

So "world's first hand-held transistor radio", maybe?

You might have got me there @andyr.

I'll counter that with purportedly a pic of the world's first transistor, which looks quite gorgeous, as it happens.

That is truly amazing, Mick!    Thanks for posting it.

Definitely candidates for the Fugly thread, Dean!

I wonder what these luverlies would bring to the party. List price $112,000aud. 

 

 

Beaudiful.  120w, too!

It’s the first junction transistor: The FET was actually invented first (I vaguely remembered that and had to look it up). 
 

But that really was the first transistor radio!

I did post a couple of loudspeakers that I thought fitted the 'Gorgeous Looking HiFi' title, so how about of couple of turntables.

LHS - Brinkmann Bardo/SDP/Acoustical Systems[AS] 10' Aquilar Anniversary tonearm/ AS Archon cartridge.

RHS - Brinkmann Balance/AS 12" Aquilar tonearm [rear]/AS 12" Axiom tonearm[front]/AS Archon and Palladium cartridges.
