Portable radios predate the introduction of transistor models (1954) but were bulky and heavy by comparison.
The Astor KQ ‘Portable Personal’ was one of the smallest radios available when introduced in 1947, but it weighed over two kilograms.
It was expensive too, the price exceeding Astor's more popular table models like the Mickey Mantle.
