Tape recorders and radio tape recorders.The network lamp radio tape recorder "Minija" has been produced by the Kaunas Radio Plant since 1962. Minia is a modernized version of the Vaiva serial radio. The models were produced at the same time, but the Minia was often modernized, and the basic Vaiva radio tape recorder with minor improvements in the scheme and design was produced until 1967.

The choice of the range is carried out by a nine-key switch, the setting is controlled by an optical indicator.

The duration of a two-track recording is about one hour at a tape speed of 19.05 cm / sec. Rewinding the tape to either side takes about 3 minutes. The magnetic tape is used type 2 or CH. Recording is carried out from a receiver, a microphone (microphone MD-47 included) and a pickup. The recording level is controlled by an optical indicator. At a speed of 19.05 cm / s, the operating frequency band is 80 ... 10000 Hz. The dimensions of the radio are 622x435x375 mm, weight 23 kg.
