The Stella ST110U is a British four-valve radio dating from the late 1950s, approximately 1958–1960. It was produced by Stella Radio & Television Company Ltd, a British radio manufacturer associated with Philips.
It is an attractive example of a small domestic valve receiver from the period when transistor radios were beginning to replace traditional valve sets. The ST110U is particularly recognisable by its cream-coloured moulded front, patterned speaker grille and prominent red tuning dial.
The ST110U uses four valves:
- UCH81 – Frequency changer
- UBF89 – Intermediate-frequency amplifier and detector
- UCL82 – Audio amplification and output
- UY85 – Mains rectifier
Service manuals for many Stella radios are available in the Members’ Area.
