Looked back to one of the earlier pics I posted on Flicker and made slight adjustments. That old Toshiba was a good camera. It still works. I should use it again :)
Toshiba Digital Camera. 1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

Another very early and very rare Toshiba radio. The 6TR-196 arrived on the Japanese electronics market sometime in 1958. There really is almost no information I can find on this table top/desk top portable set other than a schematic and a 1958 sales brochure.
I can say with certainty that few of these are in the hands of collectors and that this model was not available for sale outside Japan. I also know it was preceded by only a handful of other Toshiba radios such as the 6TR-127, 146, 169, 186 and the 5TR-193.
It is an AM only radio and utilizes a six transistor circuit and the transistor compliment is:
2S12, 2S13 x2, 2S14 and 2S22 x2.
It operates off of 4 ‘D’ cell batteries.
Inside is a relatively large 4 inch speaker. If this radio worked I’m sure it would produce a great tone.
Toshiba classified this as a 'desk top' transistor radio. It is 11.5 inches wide, 5 and a half inches tall and almost 3 and a half inches deep.
On top is a spring loaded, retractable carry handle. Very similar to what is implemented on the Zenth Royal 800 portable.
Below (on the left hand side) is the on-off/volume knobs are two earphone jacks. On the opposite side of the cabinet is a large tuning knob. Actually an inner and outer dial - one for coarse tuning and the outer dial for fine tuning. (Toshiba called it ‘micro-motion’ tuning)
There was a ‘cousin’ or companion radio released around the same time, the 6TR-200. I believe the chassis was identical but the cabinet was much different.
This 6TR-196 sports an automotive and atomic age motif. The plastic speaker grille is reverse painted gold and behind it is a silver, metallic looking mesh cloth with slight specks of gold . It’s a bold statement. Both the front and back cabinets are the same, yes a mirror image design much like the Sony TR-74 and TFM-151. This photo reveals the best side :) The opposite side has some small paint chips and some slight discoloration here and there.
The large front face is painted metal while the bottom base and side (brown) cabinet are plastic.
Fortunately it’s survived well over the years.
This was the fourth radio released by Toshiba. It entered the Japanese market in September of 1957.
Inside is the same chassis as the 6TR-127. The cabinet is another story altogether. You can see that Toshiba was starting to focus on design/appearance.
Although this is a fairly hefty portable set with similar dimensions to the 6TR-127 (8 inches wide, 5.5 inches tall and 2 inches in depth) it sports a wonderful triangular speaker grille with large perforated holes in the translucent plastic. It’s framed in place by a large chrome plated cheveron at the bottom and the large reverse painted slide rule dial at the top. The dial and thumbwheel controls maintain the extact positions as in the 6TR-127. Also present on both historic radios is the large Toshiba cloisonne badge.
I really like the color choices used. Although somewhat subdued there is a nice balance of light brown (knobs, speaker grille and back cabinet), ivory (slide rule dial), red (lettering and Toshiba badge) and what I am calling champagne - beige for the front cabinet. It’s not easy to see in this pic but underneath the station numbers is a big slab of gold reverse painted plastic. Very nice touch!
I do see the Civil Defence marks on this radio. The 6TR-127 lacked them. Perhaps an indication that Toshiba was eyeing the North American market? Well, the 6TR-169 did not officially make its way across the Pacific Ocean but by 1958 and 1959 things changed. Things changed for all Japanese electronics manufacturers as well as pop culture/music, broadcasting/media and technology around the world.
Still to come: another early, rare Toshiba. I will be posting a 6TR-196 sometime after the holidays. The 196 is a table top - portable radio circa 1958. It still needs a major clean and polish before it’s ready for the camera. I will also be posting a rare Sony TR-67 radio at that time. Stay tuned.
An early (mid 1958) release by Toshiba. This was their second two-band radio with this model being considerably smaller than the first. An attractive/compact cabinet with great symmetry created by the placement of the knobs, the "side by side" AM/SW slide rule dial and the speaker grille which slightly protrudes, or comes to a point at the centre then tapers back towards the sides. (hard to notice in this photo)
This is a difficult radio to find. Most of the ones we do see have a green cabinet with a cream/ivory back and trim.
I have another variant (photo posted below) with an ivory/grey front cabinet, dark blue/grey back and a painted deep purple speaker grille.
Almost two years since my last upload.
Jut found this hard to find gem, the Toshiba 6TP-304 in ivory/cream or yellow. It's a tricky color to identify.
According to the serial number inside this was manufactured in May of 1959. Sold for $39.95 back then.
In my opinion this is one of the finest examples of timeless industrial design.
What transistor radio collector doesn't have this on their wish list. Its a must have.
Also found with a grey or red cabinet.
Red variant posted below.....
For years now I've been fortunate to have the non lace version of this very early Toshiba radio. (see below) Here's the newest addition to my collection. What a spectacular looking radio, perhaps the most stunning of the lace grille radios. This is also one of the earliest Toshiba radios, released at the end of 1957 - early 1958. (I have paper work with this radio showing that it was purchased in Hong Kong back in 1959)
The black lace is eye catching and the rest of the design hold ups well too. The gold TRANSISTOR SIX script is elegant and I really like the older style Toshiba logo at the bottom right. I also like the positioning (overlapping) of the reverse painted tuning knob and bright red volume knob. The back cabinet is navy blue which is a nice contrast to the grey and black front.
This coat pocket radio is approx 5 x 3 inches.
An early Toshiba made radio from 1959/60. This hard to find lace grille variant is branded as a Penny's.....for the JC Penny department store.
The band switch is positioned in the middle of the tuning dial (top right)
Pictured below in the comments section are the the other lace grille radios from Toshiba.
Yes, that is real lace material covered by a clear plastic cover.
This radio also sports a reverse painted slide rule dial.
Also found under the RCA International brand name
(Model AH-271) with a very different side rule dial design and no lacking the lace grille. The shortwave band differs on this RCA variant as well......So I suppose it's not completely the same radio but pretty close and from the same manufacturer.

Presenting the Toshiba 6TR-127. Released in February of 1957 as
Tokyo Shibaura Denki’s very first transistor radio.
Toshiba was founded in 1939 when two companies Shibaura Seisakusho (Shibaura Engineering Works) and Tokyo Denki (Tokyo Electric) merged.
(To - Tokyo, Shiba - Shibaura)
I can confidently state that this is one of the rarest radios in my collection.
There is very little information to be found about the 6TR-127. It was only sold in Japan and I’m guessing in relatively small numbers.
I am unsure how many of these radios have survived and are in the hands of collectors but I’d imagine the number is small. I would assume most 6TR-127s still reside in Japan.
It’s a six transistor portable set with AM band only.
Transistor compliment is:
2S12, 2S13 x2, 2S15 x2 and 2S14
Dimensions are 9.5 inches wide, 6 inches high and 2 inches deep.
Although Toshiba went on to design some of the best looking radios between 1958 and 1961 it is obvious from the appearance of this radio that function and durability was paramount for their entrance into the solid state radio market.
I have only seen photos of this set with cabinets sporting either pale green, red or brown leather. It’s a simple looking radio but it’s the kind of simple that I find very compelling.
Missing from this example is a leather carrying strap. From the placement of the thumbwheel knobs and the slide rule dial I’m wondering if the strap was meant to be slung over the shoulders allowing the listener easy access to the controls and clear visual contact with the station numbers. Just a guess.
This radio has remained in very respectable condition and it still plays. The transistors have been replaced at some point although the replacements are still fairly early Toshiba brand transistors.

The hour is near.
Multitudes shout, "Do Something!!"
No longer is there time to sit around doing nothing.

In the last two months I have found two of these very cool Toshiba radios.
This radio dates from the 1970's when radios were once again colorful. Many radios from this era also lacked sharp edges (see the Panasonic Panapet, Toot-A-Loop etc)....perhaps inspired by the latest space age images courtesy of 2001 Space Odyssey and other sci-fi of the time.
Toshiba marketed this radio as the "Young Pet." When bought new there was a page of stickers included. The stickers included Panda bears, a hot air ballon, a cartoon clock, various letters & numbers and other oddities.
British postcard by Arcard Cards promoting Toshiba's Qosmio AV Notebook PC, no. 678. Image: Disney / Pixar. in The Incredibles (Brad Bird, 2004). Caption: Mr. Incredible. HT: 2.0m. WT: 158 kg. Powers: Strength & Agility. Fifteen years (and fifty pounds) after he hung up his hero suit, Mr. Incredible, once the best-known most popular super alive, has gone underground and is living as Bob Parr, a claims adjuster at possibly the world's worst insurance company, Insuricare. Though Bob's preoccupation with bygone days has taken a toll on him and his family, he's surprised to learn that his greatest adventures lay ahead.
The Incredibles (Brad Bird, 2004) is an American computer-animated superhero film, and the sixth feature-length animated film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Set in a fictitious version of the 1960s, the film follows Bob and Helen Parr, a couple of superheroes, known as Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl, who hide their powers in accordance with a government mandate and attempt to live a quiet suburban life with their three children. Bob's desire to help people draws the entire family into a confrontation with a vengeful fan-turned-foe. Although the film was not as successful as its predecessor Finding Nemo, it still received 27 awards and the film's DVD was the best-selling DVD of 2005, selling 17.4 million copies.
The story of The Incredibles begins with a still young Mr. Incredible a.k.a. Bob Parr who, like any superhero, performs his daily heroic deeds. He is unexpectedly visited by Buddy, a young fan eager to become his helper. Buddy turns out to be more of a nuisance than a help, despite his self-invented gadgets, and Mr. Incredible sends him away. Later that day, he marries the superheroine Elastigirl (Helen). Then, suddenly, things go wrong. After Mr. Incredible saves a man who was about to commit suicide, the man sues him. This leads to a chain reaction of lawsuits against superheroes. The government decides to help the superheroes by setting up a special programme that will pay for all their lawsuits and provide them with new identities, on the condition that they never do heroic work again. 15 years later, Bob and Helen have settled into a quiet little town. They now have three children: teenage Violet, 10-year-old Dashiell ("Dash"), and baby Jack-Jack. Violet and Dash each have superpowers, but Jack-Jack is apparently normal. Bob, who now works at an insurance company, is frustrated that he can't help anyone anymore. He still tries to be a "hero" by pointing out loopholes in the law to his clients so they can get their benefits. He also regularly goes out at night with his old friend Lucius (also an ex-superhero called Frozone) to help people. He is unknowingly shadowed by Mirage, a mysterious woman. After Bob loses his job, Mirage contacts him. She offers him a large sum of money if Bob will take out a runaway robot, the Omnidroid 9000, on an island. Bob accepts the job and defeats the Omnidroid. After this, Bob gets more and more assignments. He starts training again to get in shape and has the fashion designer Edna Mode make him a new suit. Two months later, Mirage calls Bob again. When Bob arrives on the same island again, he is attacked by an enhanced version of the Omnidroid. He is captured by the mastermind behind the Omnidroid, a man called Syndrome. This Syndrome is none other than his old fan Buddy. He has made a fortune over the past 15 years inventing and selling weapons. He has kept the best weapons in order to become a hero, despite his lack of superpowers. Later, when Mr. Incredible escapes and looks into Syndrome's computer, he is horrified to discover that Syndrome has already killed dozens of superheroes to prepare his Omnidroid for battle with Mr. Incredible. At home, Helen discovers Bob's absence. When she sees that his old superhero suit has been repaired, she immediately goes to Edna. Edna shows the superhero costumes that she has made for all the members of the family. From Edna, she hears that Bob was fired months ago and has started working as a superhero again. Thanks to a transmitter Edna fitted into Bob's suit, Helen discovers Bob's location and immediately jets off to the island. Dash and Violet come along as stowaways. Unfortunately for Mr. Incredible, the transmitter also gives his location away to Syndrome and he is captured again.
Brad Bird originally conceived the screenplay for The Incredibles for a traditional, animated film for Warner Bros. According to his own account, he got the idea from a drawing he had made in 1993. He developed the film as an extension of the 1960s comic books and spy films from his boyhood and personal family life. After the film Looney Tunes: Back in Action became a flop, Warner Bros. closed its animated film division, and the project for The Incredibles was cancelled. When Bird later talked to his friend John Lasseter about the film, Lasseter convinced him to give Pixar a try. Bird and Lasseter knew each other from their college years at CalArts in the 1970s. Pixar accepted Bird's script but changed the animation to computer animation. This made it the first Pixar film to feature only human characters. At his request, Bird was allowed to put together his own crew. He approached people he had worked with on The Iron Giant (1999), among others. Bird's idea contained many scenes that were difficult for the computer animation to do. Among other things, new techniques were needed to realistically depict human anatomy, clothing, and skin. Among other things, Violet's long hair was technically difficult to draw. The film was largely treated as if it were a live-action production. John Barry was the first choice for the composer because of his music for the trailer of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. However, Barry did not want to recreate his old soundtracks for the film, so Michael Giacchino was approached. The music in the film is entirely instrumental. Critics' reactions were very positive. Critic Roger Ebert awarded the film 3.5 out of 4 stars and wrote: "The Pixar Studios, which cannot seem to take a wrong step, steps right again with "The Incredibles," a superhero spoof that alternates breakneck action with satire of suburban sitcom life. After the "Toy Story" movies, "A Bug's Life," "Monsters, Inc." and "Finding Nemo," here's another example of Pixar's mastery of popular animation." The film is generally regarded as one of the best Pixar films. One point that many critics noticed was that the film had a much more serious and mature undertone than previous Pixar films. However, this was also a point of negative criticism. The film clearly contained more and more realistic violence than previous Pixar films. The film won the Academy Award in 2005 for the best animated film (the second Pixar film to win this award) and the award for best sound effects. The film was also nominated for the award for best screenplay and best sound. The Incredibles made $70,467,623 in its opening week, more than any Pixar film has ever made in its opening week. The film even (just) beat Finding Nemo's revenue of $70,251,710. The film brought in a total of $261,441,092, making it the second most successful Pixar film ever, and the fifth most successful film of 2004. Worldwide revenue was $631,436,092. A sequel, Incredibles 2, was released in 2018.

This hefty 8 transistor shirtpocket radio came in black or grey. This is the grey version. (Another pic of this grey model in my photostream makes the cabinet look more blue......but this is very close to the real color) see posted photo below.....
One of Toshiba's finest moments (along with the 6TP-304 'coffin'). This may also be a contender for one of the coolest transistor radio desgins ever.
The concentric speaker design has been compared to the grille of an early 1950's Studebaker. Many transistor radio collectors are convinced that the Toshiba design team was inspired by the Studebaker and the American fascination with all things automotive....
Update (July 22, 2008). I just saw a photo here on Flickr which now leads me be to believe that the automobile in question (which may have been the inspiration for this design) was the 1952 Pontiac "Chieftain". More specifically, it's dashboard clock.....Google it!
Another pic of this outrageous and stunning transistor radio. Wow. This hefty 8 transistor shirtpocket radio came in black or grey. This is the grey version, although my bad photography, poor lighting and lack of skill with iphoto may make it appear blue. (hmmm, blue would have been a nice color choice)

Thanks to 'flat6s' for that.
Please visit this link to see a great pic of a Studebaker grill (circa 1951).

thanks to 'Duff Suds' for this image.
So, Studebaker or Pontiac? I suppose this type of geometric design was widely used on several cars of that era....we may never know.
