The Regency TR-1 was the first commercially manufactured transistor radio, introduced in 1954.


Previously, transistors had only been used in military or industrial applications, and the TR-1 demonstrated their utility for consumer electronics. The Regency TR-1 kicked-off a worldwide demand for small and portable electronic products that bred the DNA for all Personal Electronic Devices and smartphones we now use on a daily basis.
