- Astor_Radio_Corporation abstract "Astor Radio Corporation is an Australian radio manufacturer which began operating in 1926. Astor made radio receivers in Victoria. The firm was innovative in that it offered radios in varying colours compared to other companies which offered the standard wood stains.During 1933, Astor produced the first of its “Mickey Mouse” series of radios, and in 1936 introduced its first Bakelite Mickey Mouse radio with a cartoon of the famous rodent on the dial. Early brochures featured a picture of Walt Disney and the mouse giving their "seal of approval". However this was not done with permission from the Walt Disney Company and Astor became involved in a long-running court battle with Disney over the illegal use of the Mickey Mouse name. The result was that Astor was forbidden to use the name "Mickey Mouse" for its radios, but it continued to produce the “Astor Mickey" radio for the next 16 years.Astor bought its competition Eclipse and Essanay. However, it was itself bought by Pye Electronics in the 1960s, which was later bought out by the giant Philips electronics company.".
