Jayce,
A Soviet radio built for the export in the US?
Now you got me intrigued.
RadioSvit
>>>>.....and the textolite board on which all the radio parts are mounted.
If you mean the phenolic board (FR-2, which was called "getinax" in the USSR, as "steklotekstolit", FR-4, which is the fiberglass, the base of todays's PCB, was a later product), which was widely used in pre-war radios as a not-printed curcuit board, then in my Grundig 8058 there was none.
The parts, all of them, were either mount on one long solder post block, which BTW did not have a support in the middle and would easily break due to flexure (was the case with my radio), and then also point-to-point where possible. So, yes, there were probably boards, but not everywhere. My radio, the Grundig Majestic, is from 1958.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
