Inside the device was completely without any traces of interference and visually in excellent condition. The speaker is just perfect!
The chassis is also perfectly preserved. What at first glance was somewhat upset because the low-power amplifier on the 6V6GT output lamp, its Soviet analogue 6П6С in the USSR was used only in low-cost radio receivers. Immediately, an association with Soviet 2nd and 3rd class radio receivers (VEFs and Records), which do not have a good sound, immediately arose ... But in the Viking, the 6V6GT radio lamp swings a 30 cm high sensitive dinmik with electric biasing, which dramatically increases the recoil over the sound The pressure was pleasantly surprised by the powerful bass and great micro dynamics ...
What was even more pleasantly struck was the completely shielded chassis that completely kills all interferences and interferences in the room, silvered contours and ... loop antenna built into the rear wall of the console!
. This technical solution gave very good results, - none of my stationary receivers have such a minimum level of interference and interference from household appliances on all bands, including Wai Fay. The truth and the sensitivity of the receiver to the loop antenna is quite strongly inferior to the sensitivity when received by an external antenna.
The receiver is five-band, - Broadcasting (Medium waves) and 4th stretched KV, from 19 to 49 meters. On the front panel there are 6 buttons of fixed settings in the NE range, - a tribute to the fashion of those years. ;) Undoubtedly it is convenient, it is a pity that since the late 40s, this chip has been abandoned in almost all countries ...
