The gold foil box for this radio declares it to be "The Finest Radio in the World." Although that may be an exaggeration, the Wilco ST-7 certainly is a beautiful coat pocket set with a very distinctive V-shaped reverse plastic dial panel. The plastic case measures 3 1/8" high by 5 5/8" wide by 1 5/8" deep. The grill is made of a perforated brushed silver metal and has a red, white and light blue "Wilco Deluxe" badge in the upper left corner.

The accompanying instruction book (printed in Japan) reads "Thank you for your having bought ST-7 DELUXE TRANSISTOR RADIO. This is a first class Radio manufactured by our expert technicians under the newest and most modern project, with 6 transistors and 1 diode. Designed smartly and elegantly, this is equipped with a high fidelity 2 3/4" speaker the largest one for this type of radio receiver......We hope this de luxe class portable radio will become your favorite and companion."

Newton MA resident Jonathan S. Golden will display his collection of early fancy transistor radios, defining unusual industrial and electronic design of the 1954-1963 period. At that time, with the advent of the tiny transistor replacing larger tubes, radio manufacturers played off the American Dream, offering consumers ultimate freedom and convenience to tune in and listen, any time, any place. The turn of a tiny dial gave the listener access to the AM airwaves filled with sports, music, adventure, and talk show dogma and jingoism of the Cold War era. To catch the American consumer's eye, manufacturers spared no cost in design, using brilliant colored plastics, molded and blended with shiny metals, then finished with intricate logos and screenings that defined the post-deco, space-age/atomic-age styles and sensibilities. For more than an eyeful of these early miniature earfuls....see "Fabulous and Fantastic Transistor Radios" in the main hall of the Newton Free Library.
