They had to catch the attention of the public. That happened with the hand-held radio. The first transistor radio was a joint project between the Regency Division of Industrial Development ...

Consider the Regency TR-1, the first transistor radio from TI and IDEA. In late 1954, the four-transistor device went on sale for $49.95. That doesn’t sound like much until you realize that in ...

The scientists Aylesworth talked to suggested there were probably additional impurities in the tin to make that first transistor work ... friend who is an amateur radio hobbyist.

The transistor radio was one of the first consumer devices that employed solid state materials. See solid state. The Regency TR-1 was the first solid state radio available to the consumer.

Regency TR-1 (1954) – Not a television but a significant precursor to transistorized consumer electronics, the Regency TR-1 was the first commercially available transistor radio. It proved that ...

The first commercial transistor radio was also produced in 1954, powered by TI silicon transistors. Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit at Texas Instruments in 1958. Comprised of only a ...

My first battery-powered radio — a ten-transistor Realtone — came from my Aunt Ina when I was about seven. I used to think I was ten, but the songs from 1973 would be wrong: I distinctly ...

the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first silicon chips used bipolar transistors, most chips today use field-effect transistors wired as ...

Before the MP3 was the Walkman and before that was the "tranny" - the transistor radio. Personal radios existed before their mass popularity in the 1960's, but then they became a teenage 'must-have'.
