The iconic Sony TR-610 was released onto the market in 1958, the same year that Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Ltd changed its name to Sony Corporation. The demand for this model was the decisive breakthrough for the Sony name overseas. Between 1958 and 1960 the popular TR-610 went on to become the first transistor radio to sell more than a half-million units worldwide, a huge achievement given the fact that in 1955/56 Sony manufactured only 45000 transistor radios.
