Hi

I was wondering if anyone has the 1955 Philco Model TPA-2 All-Transistor 45rpm phonograph ?

This is the "sister" model to the 1955 Philco TPA-1 and is "identical" to it, except for cosmetic cabinet appearance. The TPA-2 cabinet was slightly wider, for it had a storage compartment on the inside left side, which was used to store your 45rpm records.

Both Philco Models TPA-1 and TPA-2 were the "World's First All-Transistor phonographs" that were developed and produced by Philco in 1955.
