  • Cosmopolitan Satellite TR-1, All Transistor
    Printed circuit board, made in USA, white leather case made by Merzon Leather NY., takes Eveready 246 or Eveready 1051 big block 9 V battery, the label "Satellite" was visible inside the battery cover only.

    Note: The 1st satellite called "Sputnik" was launched by the Soviets on Oct. 4th 1957, the first US satellite "Explorer" was launched on Feb. 1st. 1958. This was perhaps the inspiration for the name.

    Note that related companies, Jewel Radio Corp., Gem Radio & Television and Fidelity Tube Corp., went bankrupt in late 1953 and the assets, including brand names Jewel and Gem, were purchased by Datom Industries, Inc. in early 1954. 

    Most similar to several models listed under Jewel All Transistor Ch= D6-8
