I would not have thought that there were any CHEAP five or six transistor radios in the fifties. Didn't the Sixties bring in the less expensive sets? You win. It wasn't until the little Japanese companies flooded the market with cheapies that the prices became very affordable. Before that, an all-transistor, American-made radio cost about one week's take-home pay. -- The state religion of the USA is atheism, as established by the courts. |
