From the nostalgia files comes . . .
. . . the smallest transistor radio of it's age, Japanese of course!
Believed to date from 1966 ('ish) and, while badged to Sharp Electonics, possibly have been made in the subsidiary Hayakawa Electric Co.Ltd. plant? It takes one AA-battery along the bottom, to leave room for all seven transistors! Yours for thirty-quid on feebleBay if you can get any sound out of it, I can get static out of this, so it's still alive, but I'm not sure if it's got it's hearing-aid switched-on!
This stuff used to be on Tommorrow's World, now it's yesterday's gimmick.
