Radiola network lamp `` Kremlin ''.
Network tube radiosDomesticRadiola network lamp "Kremlin" in 1956 was developed by the Riga State Electrotechnical Plant VEF. By the beginning of 1956, the VEF plant had developed a number of receivers and radiograms based on finger lamps of various designs and parameters. Some of the blocks and chassis of these vehicles were unified. All units had a "fashionable" rocker switch, a rotatable internal magnetic antenna and an internal dipole if VHF is available. Class III receivers and radios had 2 speakers, Class II and higher, four. The names of the new devices were represented by precious stones: Almaz, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Crystal, Rubin, Sapphire, Topaz, Amber. There was a river series: Amur, Angara, Terek, Dvina and a musical series: Concert, Melody, Symphony. There were other names as well. Some of the samples were transferred for production to other factories in the USSR, some were made only by an experimental batch. In the factory newspaper Vefietis (VEFovets) at the end of 1955 it was reported that the assignment of the USSR Ministry of Radio Engineering Industry on the development of 15 models of radio equipment and the manufacture of their prototypes by the VEF designers had been completed. Most of the developed devices were demonstrated at the 1958 World Exhibition in Brussels, they were awarded with prizes. Many developments were shown the following year at an exhibition in New York (1959). Since 1956 and subsequently, the development of about a dozen more promising radio receivers and radio receivers was continued, including the presented radio “Kremlin”. The top-class "Kremlin" radiola was a prototype and only a few copies were made.
