Romanian radios for U.S.A.
I heard that Romania (country of "Dracula" & Ceausescu) exported tranzistors radio in U.S.A. (especeally radios with mechanichal alarm clocks) during the '70's and the '80's? Is that true?

@Brian well, the glass instalion used at "Intreprinderea de Cinescoape (The Picture Tubes Plant)" from Bucharest was Made in U.S.A. |

I've seen Romania spelled "Rumania" years ago. Quote:
Especially if you went to a Catholic grammar school (aka elementary or primary school). "Communism is the most evil thing ever to happen in the world", it actually said in a history book I had in 4th grade. Also was told about the evils of bad English grammar. Though various friends and people I know who grew up in various communist countries all said that communism did suck... |

Oh, ya, a cathedral radio reproduction too. Here in Romania we colled it "radio cuc (coo-coo radios).
Romania was a Communsit country, but in the perido 65-83 was in very good relations with the West (we couldn't support the Soviets). |

Yeah, ol' Nicolai & Nixon were buds, sort of. You'd thought a old cold warrior like Nixon wouldn't have warmed up to Ceaucescu, easily the most despotic of the Comecon despots, but he did. Ceausescu seemed to draw his influence from Hitler & Dracula. Most of the Russians & Comecon leaders had SOMETHING to like about them, albeit small, but Nicolai had absolutely NOTHING to redeem him. Even his wife was hateful. But boy, did they get theirs in the end. Couldn't have happened to a nicer couple....-Sandy G.
