The Sinclair Slimline, which was released in 1963, was the first radio produced by Sinclair Radionics. This micro-alloy transistor radio was sold only in kit form, which cost 49 shillings and sixpence. The radio is hand-sized, measuring only 2 3/4" x 1 5/8" x 5/8" (69.85mm x 41.275mm x 15.875mm). You could only listen to the radio through a crystal earpiece that was provided with the radio. Using an internal ferrite rod aerial, the radio was able to receive stations on Medium Wave including the Home Service, Light Programme, Radio Luxembourg, and dozens of other transmissions.
