Mike, Peter;
Was the KVN49 the receiver that looked somewhat like an RCA 621TS, but with a fabric covered front panel? Did it have electrostatic or electromagnetic deflection?
P.S I looked up the KVN-49, yes it is the one very similar in layout to an RCA 621-TS, not as stylish but I would not turn one away either. Curious how many articles I saw commenting on the magnifier, seemed to use that as evidence of the Soviet Union being technologically behind, though screen size was irrelevant to the technology of the set. Having a TRF front end probably says more, but then again these were built to a price, not unlike a Motorola VT-71 series TV of the late 40s, or the Emerson that started this thread.
