Cossor CR1300T/01 all transistor portable radio. It receives broadcast (MW) and long wave (LW). Serial number BA9685. Price in its first year of sale was £19.00. The arrival of transistors in the late 1950s created a boom in portable radio sets like this one, due to the fact that battery life was substantially increased over valve-equipped portable sets.
