This Sony TR-75 was manufactured in Japan in 1958. Refined late 1950’s styling is evident in both the design and color of this radio. It has horizontal plastic louvers covering most of the front which is highlighted by a reverse-painted face.
It also features a cool little number 7 cloisonné badge on the speaker grill. Two variations of this badge can be found on the TR-75, the one pictured and another with the addition of the word ‘Transistor’ under the number 7.
The adjustable metal carrying handle can be switched to one of three positions. The radiant coral cabinet color really ignites this radio! I’ve also seen them colored green and ivory.
