Before moving on to the story of the radios of the Leningrad plant named Kazitskogo want to talk about the receivers of another manufacturer - Alexandrovsky factory. This company was one of the leaders in the Soviet Union before the war. It was here that the first receivers manufactured top-grade type SVD. The first models of the scheme SVD were exact replicas of American radios RCA -140 offices in simplified form. A pilot batch (200 pieces) was produced at the plant in Leningrad named Kazitskogo. A commercial batch release was planned and started in a factory in Aleksandrovsk. But after one month after the start of production has been stopped - there was an international scandal because of the use of stolen Soviet enterprise technologies and patents from company RCA. The Soviet government had to officially buy the patents and technology at the company's RCA on the production of tubes and radios. Only after that the production of SVD in Aleksandrovsk was resumed, but newer model SVD-1 with the heat of the lamps 6 Volt. To my great regret, the two PRS models are extremely rare and expensive, and I do not have ...

So RCA was able to go after a Soviet company and make them pay?  I guess RCA's legal team must have been very aggressive to go that far.  I would have thought they would not be liable for foreign patent infringement, after all, weren't the Red Star 54's a copy of a French design?

Well, John, as you might imagine the Soviets couldn't give less crap about legalities-shmigalities and international law but at the time the Soviet industry heavily depended on the collaboration with the US and German industries, and so once caught they prefered to comply rather than lose the cooperation which they sorely needed.

That radio looks very much like what I would expect 20 years later. Very futuristic cabinet design for the time.

I was thinking the same thing... I had to do a double-take on the year! Nice radio... I want one

I pass on to demonstrate radio production of the Leningrad plant named Kazitskogo. The plant was named Kazitskogo leading manufacturer of radio in the USSR in 1930..50's. Most of the products at this time developed by experienced parties here, and then transferred to the production of other businesses. Unfortunately, I have no radio 30s this manufacturer, but there is almost the entire line of the 40s and 50s.

Earlier on display is an 8-tube receiver Marshall M Minsk Plant named after Molotov from 1946 also produced in Leningrad - the factory number 287. After a bit of upgrading the radio called "Neva "  began to produce three more companies of Leningrad - Leningrad plant "Radioman" Leningrad plant Kozitsky and Leningrad factory hardware.

   

In 1948 NEVA receiver has been upgraded, received five instead of three bands. And also it has been added to another lamp in the ULF and he became a three-stage, which dramatically increased sound quality and power output.

Sorry, I have not changed the grill ..

Anyone noticed a similarity in the cabinet and the dial to some of the Philco tropic?

I like the original 3-band version but it sure would look better with the gloss paint of the later version. Was the 3-band refinished?

In 1952 the previous model NEVA-51 was radically redesigned and modernized. So a 9-and-tube NEVA-52. Although not a very good receiver design inspires confidence to its excellent reception, sound and high manufacturing quality.

Three years later, in 1955, the receiver has been slightly simplified (local oscillator and mixer are made on one lamp instead of two), became again an 8-tube like Marshall and was named Neva-55. It was the last model in the family of receivers Electrееt / Commander - Marshall - NEVA
