Abstract

On 1 November 1954, the first transistor radio hit store shelves just in time for the holiday shopping season. The Regency TR-1 was advertised as the world's first pocket radio, although at 12.7 by 8.7 by 3.5 centimeters, it required pretty big pockets—literally and figuratively. The radio sold for US $49.95, or more than $580 today, which is coincidentally about what it'll cost you to buy one on eBay. Still, the radio was significantly smaller than any vacuum-tube model.

过去向前第一台晶体管收音机

1954 年 11 月 1 日，第一台晶体管收音机在商店上架，正赶上假日购物季。Regency TR-1 被宣传为世界上第一台袖珍收音机，尽管它的尺寸为 12.7 x 8.7 x 3.5 厘米，但它需要相当大的口袋--无论是字面上还是比喻上。这款收音机的售价为 49.95 美元，相当于现在的 580 多美元，巧合的是，你在 eBay 上买一台也就花了这么多钱。不过，这款收音机还是比任何真空管型号的收音机小得多。
