Hi Jayce,

"Thanks" for looking at all the "Historic" information on the !955 Philco TPA-1 All-Transistor phonograph.

Philco was a "Powerhouse" in the 1950's, as far as its research and development. It produced many "World First" consumer products during this period ....

For example...

1953- World's First High-Frequency Transistor used for computers (Surface-Barrier Transistors)
1955- World's First Transistor car radio (model C-5690)
1955- World's First Transistor portable battery operated Phonograph (models TPA-1, TPA-2)
1957- World's First Transistor Large scale Commercial Computer(Transac S-1000)
1959- World's First Transistor portable battery operated TV (Safari)

Finally, Please let me know if you happen to find the Philco models TPA-1 or TPA-2 phonographs from your source.

Thanks Rick
