Comments

Featured here are the various transistor and vibrator type Air Chief Radios tailored for the FE and FC Holden. The transistor models were introduced late in 1958, replacing the earlier vibrator (or valve) models. The vibrator model push button was identical in appearance, but the manual control had a larger dial. The transistor models can be identified by a bezel mounted clear crystal on the face panel, known in some of the Holden literature at the time as the 'Diamond Dot'.
