Radio receiver `` VEF Transistor-17 ''.

Portable radio receivers and radios on p / p.DomesticThe portable radio receiver "VEF Transistor-17" was developed and experimentally produced in 1967 by the Riga State Electrotechnical Plant VEF. The All-Union Chamber of Commerce in May 1968 approved samples of models of portable transistor receivers of the 2nd class "VEF-12" and "VEF Transistor-17". Both receivers began to be produced in October 1967, but this was an experimental release. As a result of successful tests, the VEF-12 radio receiver from November 1967 was put on the assembly line and produced in small batches, and from 1968 it was launched into mass production. The documentation for the VEF Transistor-17 receiver was transferred to the Minsk Radio Plant, where, after minor modernization, it began to be produced in 1969, but already under the Ocean brand. The VEF Transistor-17 receiver, like the VEF-12 receiver, was created at the SKB at the V.I. Popov in Riga. Both are brothers of the well-known VEF-Speedola and VEF Speedola-10 receivers. These radios in their years were very popular not only in the USSR, but also far beyond its borders.
