First solid-state TV

[cork]

It was about this time, 1954, that TI made an all-transistor demo
set. This is just trusting to memory. It was either '54 or '55 and it
was definitely TI that did it. It had to be all germanium, just like the Safari 4 years later. I think '54 was also the first year of the
Regency TR-1 transistor radio, a short time before the Japanese
stuff appeared here.
