[RadioSvit]

After the onset of the Cold War between the USSR and the United States, cooperation between the USSR and the American company RCA was discontinued. The model of the radio receiver Leningrad 48 that was jointly developed and manufactured at the factory of Kazitsky was already obsolete and withdrawn from production. In 1950, an attempt was made to produce a Leningrad radio-50, completely developed at Kazicky's firm. Unfortunately the receiver turned fabulous on paper, but very complex and imperfect in reality. Therefore, it was released by a very small batch and withdrawn from production.This receiver I do not have, so I found the photo for the demonstration on the Internet

   

The next top-class radio receiver developed by the Kazitsky plant appeared only in 1954 and was manufactured by the Lenindrad Metalware Plant. It was called October and was named in honor of the October Revolution of 1917, and in fact - a coup d'état of the Bolsheviks.  It had 9 radio tubes, a push-pull amplifier with a power of 10 watts and two large speakers with a diameter of 10 inches. In the design there is a mix of different styles from Soviet monumentality, German functionality and to the style of the scale and elements of American scenery.
