A transistor radio is a small portable radio receiver that uses transistor-based circuitry. Previous portable radios used vacuum tubes, which were bulky

paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, computers, and other electronic devices. Most transistors are made from very pure silicon, and

manufactured; a very common size is known as PP3, introduced for early transistor radios. The PP3 has a cuboid shape with rounded edges and two polarized snap
