Cassette

It is now we have even more music on your phone than ever before in the entire city. And then to have any of the presented devices considered a luxury!





Romantic 306. Cassette early 80s. This tape was very reliable and extremely loud. Most of all, it is notable military design. See for yourself - it is more like a harsh, military radio.



Jauza-206. Reel tape recorder early 70's. All models of the tape line "Jauza" were very popular. At the time, was even released a collection of songs with touching the PCB called "Tape Jauza system." It is on this tape in our country while listening songs Galich, Vysotsky and Okudzhava.



Romantic. This tape the second half of the 60 runs on batteries and was portable. At that time - the only way to take your music with you to the cottage or in the woods. Just enough batteries for 4 hours, so you had to take a spare set.



Just watch the old TV.



Cantata 204. This unit was manufactured in the city of Murom in the late 70s and falls on the end of an era tube radiograms. (Just in case, I will explain this radiogram receiver with the player). Then there was widespread stereo equipment, but "Cantata" somehow mono. In those days, many houses were like. "Cantata" catching gourmet shortwave station. Curiously, the receivers of those years have been and VHF, but virtually nothing in this range was not.



Estonia-4. Luxury radiogram late 60s. Produced it, as you can guess, in Estonia, and how all Baltic states this unit was very good in quality and design. Radiogram was mono, but the sound at the same time was excellent. A few years later came the stereo equipment and "Estonia-4" was not relevant. It is interesting that, in comparison with the "Cantata" (See above.) "Estonia" benefits significantly, although produced the 10th anniversary earlier.



Riga 6. Receiver '54. The number "6" in the name means that the device 6 lamps. Also produces "Riga 4" and "10 Riga". The number of lamps indicating the quality of the device - more tubes, the better the receiver. (By the way, later wrote to the receiver the number of transistors and diodes even). The "Riga 6" curious design - handles have been removed from the front side, and, shall we say, more facade resembles human Mordashov.



Record - 61 "61" is the year of issue. Very popular in those days radiogram. Many Soviet citizens at home was this kind of technology, which listened to records of the company «Melody».



Lorenz. And this is a very serious thing. German receiver in 1938. It is through the dynamics of this device German propaganda talked about racial hygiene and the power of the German people. But in the end ... this thing as a war trophy found shelter in the city of Obninsk, Kaluga region. Receiver that cost 318 Reichsmark, and the average salary of the German working sostavyala total 100 marks. Volkswagen Beetle car cost 1,000 marks. Ogogo! Lorenz treated by the Nazis in a third of the cost of the car - a luxury thing! The scale of the receiver pristutsvuet city Kennigsberg.



Dnepr 9. You will be surprised, but this reel tape recorder. In 55 Kyiv Economic Council released a kind of machine here, by the way one of the first 2-track tape recorders in the USSR.



"Dnepr 9" in calm weather.



Comet. The second half of the 60s. years, weight 14 kg., the price of 200 p. This katushechnik featured incredible nadёzhost and good sound quality. In those days, if you had a tape recorder, it is likely that it was either "Jauza" or "Comet».



Akords stereo. Bad, but cheap and affordable turntable late 70s. Despite svob poganyuchest standing houses many Soviet music lovers.



Wave 307 Volga 307 - a freak. Design curiosity. Before us is a portable stereoplayer for vinyl LPs! It was around 89 years old, but the Soviet designers decided sdleat something like a phonograph late 20th century. At that time, were in the course of cassette recorders, but for some reason, was born a kind of monsters on batteries.



That's "Wave" in working condition.



Astra same age 4. "Yauza" and "Comets". Among his soremennikov had the best sound quality and recording.



Spidola. Legendary apparatus omen era! Spidola - this is the first mass tranzistrony receiver. Production began in the 60th year in Latvia. This unit can be considered sabotage against the Latvian Soviet ideology, because it is very well accepted by western station. Spidola designed in such a way that it is very easy to carry on your shoulder. Then portable tape recorders were not so far away from home could only listen to the receiver. Glamor thing!



53. A radio record, which was produced in the 53 th year. Element of the sweet life. With the help of "record" it was possible to catch the enemy melodious voice. The device that's just you see in the photo, and now works, the owner of the collection with the help of listening to the radio "Freedom" during the events in Georgia to complete the picture.



Phone boss 70s. Loudly calling takes a few lines, emits authoritative emanations. When in the past 10 anniversary, I worked in Obninsk on a local radio station, this unit was operated in our office as a regular phone.
