Always have heard that Soviet consumer grade stuff like TVs & radios was pretty dreadful, do you find that to be the case here ? The higher end stuff for doctors, engineers bossmens was apparently much better, but what Ivan & Igor had to make do with was not-K-mart & worse grade of quality. I'm not trying to really kick on the Soviets, I just don't know... I have an East German big wooden table top radio, its about as good as any of the gazillions of its W. German cousins that flooded over here about 10 years after the war, & a little pocket AM/LW Russian transistor set that "Sorta" picks up AM & LW, but their bands must not be anything close to ours. So close, & yet so incredibly far..
