The Rubin was estimated as being more reliable than the Raduga. But I can not made a statement until I have got this set working. One advantage might be the location of the tubes: they are on the back side of the PCBs. So, they could not damage the other parts by heating them. I have been in the Sovjet Union in 1984, in Moscow and Leningrad. The streets looked very terrible and dirty in these days. I have seen shops there without a floor and with only a few goods which you could carry away in one bag. People were very poor. The Aeroflot planes which we used had no oxygen masks. There was a lack of everything. So, for me, it is absolutely a miracle how the Sovjets were able to produce such difficult items like a color tv set.
