A 7-transistor small-and-skinny coat pocket radio, a later NEC model with a very nice cabinet design and appealing proportions. This unit's cabinet color is a deep midnight blue. Its gold-colored grille is repeated on it's back face, something NEC also did on their c.1962 NT-625 shirt pocket radio. This NT-730's chassis was also used in the c.1962 Bulova Lido 790 series made by NEC (see photos below).
