2024 Retro Audio Medallion Cover
During the 1950s to late 1970s, Australia saw a wave of locally made radios, record players, and combined entertainment systems like radiograms and stereograms — most built using Australian parts.
One standout from this era was the 1963 AWA B28 — a pale-pink, battery-powered portable record player designed for mono playback. It offered a stylish and budget-friendly option for young music lovers, even if it wasn’t top-tier in performance. What set it apart was its use of AWA’s innovative, Australian-made transistor amplifier.
AWA (Amalgamated Wireless Australasia Ltd) led the way in 1957 by releasing Australia's first locally made transistor radio.
