Network tube radiosDomesticRadiola network lamp "Kama" since 1951 was produced by the Sarapul radio plant named after. Ordzhonikidze. The name "Kama" reflects the Kama - the main river of the western Urals. Networked small-sized desktop radio of the fourth class "Kama" is developed on the basis of the "Moskvich" receiver (1st version), also known as "Moskvich-V" or "Vesna". EPU radiol until the spring of 1953 were designed to play only ordinary gramophone records. They consisted of a mechanism with a synchronous motor and an electromagnetic pickup. Before playing the records, there was a slight movement over the disc. Since September 1953, a two-speed EPU with an asynchronous motor DAG, a piezoelectric pickup and an adjustable needle pressure on the plate was installed in the radio. At the same time, the electrical part was modernized and a new scale was applied, which coincides with the scale of the Moskvich receiver. The following radio upgrades repeated the schemes of the upgraded Moskvich receivers. The radio case was produced in different colors, the plastic cover was available in different colors. The power consumption during the operation of the EPU is 65 W, after the modernization of 1953 50 W. The dimensions of the radio are 390x255x285 mm. Weight 9.5 kg. With various changes in the scheme and design, the radio was produced until 1957. Altogether, ~ 200 thousand Kama radio sets were released.
