Transistor Radios Around the World

1960 Lafayette FS-91

Shirt pocket radio, thermoplastic cabinet
4 1/2 x 2 7/8 x 1 3/16 inches / 113 x 70 x 32 mm
Nine transistors (Toshiba), superheterodyne circuit
Two 1.5-volt AA cells
Most likely manufactured by Crown Radio Corp., Tokyo, Japan
Distributed by Lafayette Radio Corp., USA

Same chassis and cabinet layout as the Kowa KT-91, Harpers GK-900 and the Viscount/Chic KT-91. Please see my Crown production date codes page for why I believe these OEM models were made by Crown/Asahi Musen.
