Transitone History 101
#8

Confirmation!!!

I have a photo of a Transitone UA-52P, a pretty rare set made of white Beetle and black plastic. Just learned today that this same set was also marketed under the Simplex name (and with the same model number)!

It uses the same chassis as did many of the Transitone/Philco Transitone sets of the period; that very small, jam-packed, five-tube chassis.

The Philco version was also known as Model TP-52.

So it looks more and more like Simplex made the very small Transitone models for Philco.
