An early Continental transistor radio, with a thermosetting plastic cabinet, plastic speaker grille, and a fairly unique tuning dial.
Most Continentals were made by Sharp — this TR-150 appears to have nothing Sharp in its guts. It uses RCA transistors and an NEC diode, and the speaker and tuning capacitor have no markings on them.
