Hello, I'm Kraim Md. I have been working in the field of website development and design since 2016. I have extensive experience in creating diverse and responsive websites, with a special focus on the WordPress platform.
If it was just a little cheaper I would totally buy this just for the novelty of it. Can't believe a hig progressive corporation like Sony is still manufacturing (or at least selling under their brand) such old school technology. My dad had a Panasonic AM only transistor radio he kept on his desk at work to listen to talk radio.
Like boomers, we will be working till 90 because of capitalist swines dissolving our pensions, busting our unions and paying starvation wages to the workers while they steal what we produce.
Imagine walking through TSA with one of these dear Lord they might think of something bad but then you tell him no, it’s just a transistor radio from the past😂
on black friday I think 2018(yes when there was great deals) I begged my dad to take us to stores and brought me to the store and I bought a Sony ICF P26 which i still have and was the last thing my dad untill i started earning money and its still working
Not a transistor radio but I picked up a Grundig yacht boy recently (the Porsche designed one) it has an awful reputation and yes the auto tuning is crap but it does very well on AM with a passive antenna loop and step tuning. Was getting plenty of foreign stations. Switched it to 9 khz setting and even got a few more stations from much further away. Passive antenna loops are great.
I have one of these radios, I like listening to AM at night and I live in SW Ohio and I get WBAP out of Ft. Worth, WOAI out of San Antonio WBZ out of Boston and all the Chicago, New York, Detroit, Atlanta, Richmond VA, St. Louis the number of AM stations that you can get at night are unreal. I also have an old Sony radio made in Japan that I got in 1971 and still works.
I'm buying one so I can listen to sports while I do other things. I'm just tired of giving up entire Saturdays and Sundays to watching sporting events on TV.
I wish I could remember what model of alarm clock my dad used to have. It's the only typical alarm clock of the 80's, but this would also work on the 9V battery. The last time I remember using it was during that massive black out back in 2002? 2003?
Cut to the last one I saw. Actually seen them more then ever being used in food trucks. Or those hot dog and sausage carts you see at events. They all range in styles. But seen some that run on no battery. They are hand cranked ones. Which seems kinda silly. But makes total sense when it does what ya want it to do.
It's not stereo. Limited loudness allows it to run longer. I usually listened to the radio on casette player because the battery didn't last long turning the tape motor. My first radio was very small that could only receive long and medium wave. "Transistor" doesn't mean portable or small.
I have a radio just like the Sony, same dial, same buttons and jack, same antenna same build but it's branded EKO and only cost me AU$13 from Big W. The Sony radios here cost $45.
I have a Sangean DT-00w AM-FM plus weather band and you can program the station yes it has a little speaker and stereo with headphones Love this little radio
I keep one in the trunk of my car, and one in a closet. They came in useful back when Texas got a week of freezing temps and snow a few years ago. Power was rationed/ cut off for a week, so radios were about the only way to keep informed.

WASTE OF TIME til the stations go back to analog. Today all stations are using digital output from digital media.
So you CANNOT get full spectrum analog audio whatsoever.
If analog ever EVER is allowed to come back,
it will be a glorious time again.
Whats your estimation of how long one set of batteries would last?
Meanwhile phone manufacturers turn off the fm chip for US phones to scratch the service providers backs
Foon no pless

you're video quality is like from 2006 😅 btw very intersting video that sony still making transistor radio
Hi. Nice review. A doubt: which was the first pocket radio with an AM/FM switcher? Thanks!
on black friday I think 2018(yes when there was great deals) I begged my dad to take us to stores and brought me to the store and I bought a Sony ICF P26 which i still have and was the last thing my dad untill i started earning money and its still working
do the parts inside break easily if it falls onto concrete or wood from 4-6 feet up?
This radio sony has no short wave,so i do not like this receiver.
This is more well made than every single smartphone ever
Ah James Taylor man, thats great to hear 😁👍🏻

Ah Cool James Taylor
that last line made me rethink so so much….
Sonido. Pesimo
Pésima. Calidad y. Sonido. Cualquier. Radio. Chino. Es. Superior. En. Calidad. Y. Sonido
I use one everyday at work.😊
These things will never go out of fashion………unless they invent a smartphone that has a battery that can last for more than a week on one charge
when there is a war or satillite is shot down…etc its the Radio will be your information provider.. even you phone will not help.
Geez, the title was a little rude.

Too bad Sony refuses to retire this faulty product that has volume and tuning slider issues with many units.
I'm buying one so I can listen to sports while I do other things. I'm just tired of giving up entire Saturdays and Sundays to watching sporting events on TV.
Some Older transistor radios came a leather case

se nota la falta en el estereo que no tiene
I remember looking through these, but I could never find an old analog dial one like that with FM-stereo.
It's not stereo. Limited loudness allows it to run longer. I usually listened to the radio on casette player because the battery didn't last long turning the tape motor. My first radio was very small that could only receive long and medium wave. "Transistor" doesn't mean portable or small.
So it's not really a transistor radio if it uses an IC. Still awesome though.
The 26 is great. I picked up 5 of them for 9$ on ebay. Store returns. Great condition
Talk about living in the past, grow up dude 😂😂😂
Despite being millennial, I couldn’t resist the temptation to purchase this piece of technology when it popped front of me on Amazon.
You’re close, I’m using the iPad 10 inch.
I have a transistor radio from the 1970s and it works extremely well, but its hard picking up stations where I live
At 200 years old as per his statements, j0e Byedead is still kicking around completing the destruction of America
Until the words “tranny” and “wireless” took on the meaning they have today, that’s what “tranny” and “wireless” was in the 70s & 80s!
I have a radio just like the Sony, same dial, same buttons and jack, same antenna same build but it's branded EKO and only cost me AU$13 from Big W. The Sony radios here cost $45.
I have a P27. I am happy with this radio.
the 27 appears to not be available anymore
I wish these kind of electronics were still popular. They only do one thing, but they do it well.
Can you tell us anything about the 22 &1/2 volt battery that was required for the first radio you showed?
Hey, we are in this same general area. This was like digging on my car radio when I visit friends in south Jersey. 👍
Excellent video
I have a Sangean DT-00w AM-FM plus weather band and you can program the station yes it has a little speaker and stereo with headphones
Love this little radio
