I could not help but notice that the paper capacitors in Peter's Baltica have more then a passing resemblance to many capacitors found in pre war RCA radios. They appear to have cardboard disks around the leads, with the ends of the tubes rolled over like an electrolytic cap, the labeling even looks similar with ink printed directly onto the brown paper tubes. Other then that it's a strange mix of North American, and European style components, and construction.
 Regarding assistance on the restoration, are there any radio forums based in Latvia or Ukraine, these sets were manufactured, or at least engineered in Latvia? VEF was a radio manufacturer in Riga before the Soviets invaded in 1940, there is even a film posted online of their manufacturing process in their pre war factory.
