Toshiba was the world's largest
manufacturer of transistor radios. The
Toshiba name is derived from its former
name, Tokyo Shibaura Denki K.K., which
in turn was a 1939 merger between
Shibaura Seisaku-sho and Tokyo Denki.
The company name was officially changed
to Toshiba Corporation in 1978. In 1961
Toshiba produced the 6 Transistor
Baseball Radio.
The model SP-515 radio looks like and is the same size as an official big
league Baseball. The baseball radio
came complete with batteries, earphone,
and a 3 bat pedestal. Equipped with a
caring cord and ring, It could be used
two ways ... as a portable and as a
table radio.
The Toshiba SP-515 baseball radio was also produced with a Minnesota Twins
monogram. It seems that this was the
only major league produced. The Twins
originally played in Washington, D.C.
(1901–1960), and were known as the
Senators before relocating to
Minneapolis in 1961. The Toshiba Twins
radio was produced in 1962.
