Motorola introduced PCB radios in 1952

John Alexander Berry Video 26 days ago

Description

It was Motorola who introduced the first domestic (valve) radios using printed circuit boards (PCB's) back in 1952.

The radio seen here appeared in 1955 with Motorola's double-sided PCB almost the same as the original 1952 printed circuit board.

This was followed by the ubiquitous transistor radio where printed circuit boards became the norm. By the late 1960's valve (tube) domestic radios were no longer being manufactured and the transistor receiver 'reigned supreme'.
