As the name suggests, this National Panasonic SG-345 All transistor radio phonograph is both a portable and compact record player and a transistor radio.
Made in 1970, it was available in a range of vibrant colours like this blue model with groovy yellow writing. It could play 33 and 45 rpm records and was battery or mains-powered. It would have been the perfect accessory for any teen wanting to take their music with them wherever they went.
