Tesla's second transistor radio and its first pocket-sized transistor radio, a very compact coat pocket radio with just about the same cabinet dimensions as the Koyo Parrot subminiature tube radio.
Between this 1960 T60 (2701B) and the 1961 2702B Doris, there was a transitional model with a production run much smaller than either the T60 or the Doris, known simply as the 2702B, with the same chassis as the Doris and looking very much like the T60 except for an extension to the cabinet's right side to make room for the larger chassis inside — this space was filled in with the word, "TRANSISTOR" in vertical black large-cap raised lettering — see the two images at the bottom of this page.
