The Spica ST711 is a cute little 7 transistor set that measures only 2 3/4" high by 2 3/8" wide. The example shown above is made of black plastic with a metal front bezel and a perforated grill. The center of the grill is decorated with a round brass badge highlighted with maroon paint. The controls are located on the right side of the case-the upper knob is for on/off/volume control and the lower knob is for tuning. The brass chain and key ring are attached to a mounting post at the upper left side of the case, directly above the earphone jack. The rear of the case is vented and has a gold "Model ST711" sticker.

This radio was found complete with an attractive light mint green, black, and red box decorated with a picture of the world, a black zippered carrying case, an earphone in its own snap-shut case, instructions, and a warranty card. It was originally guaranteed for a period of 90 days by Summit International Corp., 44 Whitehall Street, New York 4, NY.

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.
