Where were transistor radios made?
Transistor radios have been produced all over the world. Produced first by countries with the largest electronic technical pool (the United States, Japan, and several European countries), radios moved on to be items that could be easily manufactured anywhere. Radio manufacturing locations shifted as competition forced prices down, and labor became the major expense. After the U.S. and Japan, manufacturing shifted to Hong Kong, outlying islands such as Okinawa and the Ryukus, and then on to Taiwan and Korea, eventually (today) to such places as China and The Philippines. Most collectible transistor radios were made in the U.S., Japan, and Europe.
