The Capri 6 Transistor Portable Radio Kit from 1962 |
|
|
From the December 1962 issue of Radio Constructor.
This is a 6 Transistor Portable Kit that was advertised for sale by Henry's Radio Ltd.
The early 1960's saw the release of many transistor radio kits and was a peak time for the hobby. It was priced at £5.19.6 (Five pounds, Nineteen shillings and Six pence).
The six transistors were OC44M OC45M OC45M OC81DM OC81M OC81M plus an OA90 Diode. |
A note from Nicholas Swindale (Canada).
I was given the 'Capri' 6-transistor radio kit as a Christmas gift in 1964
(I was 13 years old) and it is hard to describe how exciting that was.
It was treat to see it again, and the construction manual.
