The television receiver &quot;Belarus&quot; from October 1954 to May 1956 produced the Minsk Radio Plant. The TV has 19 lamps and a 31LK2B type kinescope with a screen diameter of 31 cm and a visible image size of 180x240 mm. The TV set is designed to receive only one (first) television program (channel), but with the possibility of replacing the HF unit for receiving the 2nd or 3rd program and has a sensitivity of 800 μV. Resolution in the center of the screen is 450 lines. Power consumption 220 W. The dimensions of the device are 440x435x545 mm. Weight 35 kg. The layout and design of the TV &quot;Belarus&quot; is similar to the TV &quot;Avangard&quot;. The main control knobs are located at the front of the device. The plant produced about 3 thousand TV sets &quot;Belarus&quot;.

The photo of the TV &quot;Belarus&quot; was provided by Vladimir Berberov from Minsk and told this story.

In 2016, a conscientious citizen, an ordinary worker, called the museum (Petrus Brovka Museum, Minsk) and said that they had a TV set near the trash can for several months, which, judging by the gift plate, belonged to Petrus Brovka. If we recall the first big record of VIA &quot;Pesnyary&quot;, then the song &quot;Alexandrina&quot; is the words of Brovka, so this is a well-known name with us. In general, the worker brought a TV set to the museum and even made some money. The TV was presented to Brovka on June 25, 1955. The story is sad only about our short memory. It&#39;s a shame that a TV with a donation plaque to a famous person could end up in the trash. Moreover, in 1955, the TV was a gorgeous gift! This TV was lucky that a conscientious person noticed it earlier than the scrap metal collectors.
