Network tube radio receiver '' Pioneer ''.
Network tube radiosDomesticSince 1940, the network tube radio receiver "Pioneer" has been produced by the Minsk Radio Plant named after Molotov. In December 1940, at the newly built radio plant in Minsk, among a number of other models, the production of the newest Pioneer radio receiver was mastered. It was created on the basis of the "Gerold" radio set of the Polish company "Elektrit". Before the start of the war (until 06/22/1941), about 15 thousand Pioneer radios were produced. After the liberation of Minsk from the Germans in 1944, the restoration of the plant began, and in February 1946 the plant had already continued the production of the modernized Pioneer receiver and the first Pioneer radio in Belarus. The post-war radio `` Pioneer '' differed from the pre-war one in the presence of a tuning indicator and a number of improvements in its electrical circuit. Some of the receivers and radios "Pioneer" were named "Minsk", but the final name "Minsk" was given to the modernized radio receiver produced in 1947.
