Description

Toshiba Reflex TR-193 Transistor Radio – Lace Front, Japan, 1950s

A visually striking example of mid-century Japanese electronics, this Toshiba Reflex Type TR-193 transistor radio pairs eye-catching design with practical functionality. Featuring a rare lace-patterned front grille and dramatic angled tuning dial with gold accents, this 1950s model was crafted in Japan and is clearly marked “Reflex Type – Model TR-193 – Serial 90821203.”

Constructed from two-tone plastic with a navy and cream color scheme, it includes its original full grain leather case, marked “TRANSISTOR” in silver print. This set is a true period piece, blending utility and style in compact form. A new 9V battery has been installed for immediate use.

Ideal for collectors of vintage electronics or mid-century décor, this unit presents well and functions reliably.


Condition

Good vintage condition with some wear from use. Fully functional and tested. There is a stable 0.5" crack on the lower right corner and a small stable crack on the dial, both visible in close-ups. Light surface wear on the leather case and casing consistent with age.


Dimensions

4 1/8" x 2 5/8" x 1 3/8"
