By the 1950s, vacuum tubes were being made small enough to make a counter-top radio possible, and the transistor, which eventually completely replaced the vacuum tube, had already been invented and was beginning to be applied in electronics more and more.  A two-tube (homemade) radio from 1958. Anyway, I don't think that anyone would pay more than 20 to 25 dollars for an AM or FM radio, since AM/FM have pretty much gone down the drain as far as interesting content is concerned. In the case of an emergency, a walkman handheld radio powered by double-A batteries would be much more efficient for picking up urgent broadcasts. |
