Network tube radio receiver "Terek".

Tube radios.DomesticThe radio receiver "Terek" in 1955 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 devices had a rocker switch, a rotatable internal magnetic antenna and an internal dipole, if the VHF range is provided. Class III radios and radios have 2 speakers each, Class II and above have four. The names of the new devices are represented by precious stones: Almaz, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Amber. There was a river series: Amur, Angara, Terek, Dvina and a musical series: Concert, Melody, Symphony and others. Some samples were transferred for production to other plants of the USSR (mainly to new ones, where there were no strong design teams), 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 designers and production workers of the VEF was successfully completed. Most of the developed new devices were demonstrated at the World Exhibition in Brussels in 1958 and were awarded prizes. Many developments were shown the following year at an exhibition in New York (1959). The "Terek" third class radio was only a prototype, made in a single copy.
