Thanks for sharing those videos and of course your YouTube page, RadioSvit. I had a Soviet radio years back and should have kept it, but at the time was a bit baffled by foreign built sets. It was built for export to the US, but I can't recall the brand anymore. The transformer issue is causing me to have some second thoughts about that SABA 400 as I hate to get a lot invested into it only for the transformer to go poof. That's one reason why I gave up on Zeniths as the ones I liked used the cursed 6X5 with the wimpy transformers. I have a few Zenith table radios from that era, but I put in late style 6x5 rectifiers and they are five and six tube units that use the same basic tubes as the five and six tube car radios the 6x5 was designed for.
My Olympic Continental is actually a Schaub-Lorenz Goldy 250 and the transformer in it is pretty hefty for its size and actually looks like they might have used a US built transformer as it doesn't look like the typical German style I have seen in other sets. It looks more like something in an RCA of the time.
