What in Heaven’s Name is a Transistor Radio? — 3 Comments

  1. The biggest wonder of a transistor radio is that we could have music without draining our car batteries! The sound quality was poor – but so was the sound quality in the car! Most stations were AM and subject to lots of static. AM/FM radios came out later because of the increase in FM stations, stereo sound and 8 track tapes.

  2. You have me chuckling, Janet. All of what you said is so true. Those AM radio stations were horrific. And I do remember the static.

    Thanks for chiming in! Much appreciated!

  3. I’m 58 and we had transistor radios until we were teens in the 70’s so I find it interesting that you said for teens to ask their GRANDPARENTS! I’m not a grandparent yet, in fact I still have a teenager, and they all know what a transistor radio is. Today’s teens must be undereducated and I was an English teacher for years and I didn’t think they were that dumb!
