The K.V.N. (not K.W.N.)-49 was a set with old conception. That's why the guy who owns it haves trouble repairing the defelexion coil. He sayes that he wants to put an coil from an "Rubin" 102 tv set. I think that K.V.N.-49 is more likely inspiered by a German tv set.
"Temp" 2 was a very hard to repiar set, big, with high compustion (240 Watts on tv, 160 Watts on F.M. (U.S.W.) radio). In contrast, "Rekord" was smaller, lighter (23 k.gs. - the version witout the power transformer, 27 k.gs. - the version with power transformer) and easy to be reapired; and it consume less electricity - recatngular & smaller picture tube.
The 1st trully hit of the Soviet tv sets was the "Rubin" 102 from 1957. It was a more modern set. My maternal grandfather owned one, but he get it on the country side, I tried to get it back but I couldn't

Some one from Romania haves one in working condition: http://www.proradioantic.ro/index.php?x=item&id_p=224
There where bigger version of it, with loudspeakers that could reproduce a greater audio frequency range (50-15,000 Hz in stead of 80-8,000 Hz)
the 201 & 202: http://rw6ase.narod.ru/000/tw/rubin201.html

One of the good thing at Soviet tv sets was that most of them had power transformer. So:
1) You dind't risked to get electrocuted on the chassie;
2) The set was less sensitive on voltage or frequency variations - that stuff was a big problem in Romania untill recently (and sometimes still are problmes with that) *;
3) If one electronic tube (valve) went down, the rest would still work.
My small "Rekord" was the version without power transformer... and I got electrocuted once (my mistake). But it had the tubes mounted in paralel, like at the sets with power transforner

* today I thougt of that problems and guess what: accidently my paternal grandmother turned theryr set on T.C.M. where was a movie called "Where were you when the light turned out?" with Doris Day.

TV-collector: are you the guy with the Czech website?

I found on the street some old photographic films. Most of the images are taken around 1961-1964 (and, gush, I can see some houses demolished in the '60's and in the '80's). On one image was this family pic where a "Temp" 2 tv set appeares.
