c.1961 Standard SR-H107
Coat pocket radio / small portable, thermoplastic cabinet
6 5/16 x 4 1/16 x 1 5/16 inches / 160 x 103 x 33 mm
2-band MW/SW, eight transistors (made by TEN/Kobe Kogyo), four 1.5-volt AA cells
Manufactured by Standard Radio Co., Ltd., Japan
A very nicely designed radio in every way, including its cabinet proportions, with a very thin 1 5/16 inches (33mm) depth that makes its otherwise "coat pocket" dimensions seem just fine. The black and gold "Standard" badge on the grille is identical to the automotive-styling logo found on a number of Standard radios made way back in 1957 and 1958. I really haven't found much to give a true production date, and I have to wonder if the date is actually earlier than 1961. Not shown here is the radio's detachable telescopic antenna used for short wave listening.
