Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Certainly! I enjoyed this thread so far, another Soviet set can only make it even better

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Is your Raduga a Secam-only set? Was it made for the Russian market or for the former East Germany?

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
I seem to recall the East-Germans mostly made their own TV sets, but they were forced to use rejected Russian tubes tubes in their first series (Color 20).

The Raduga is a SECAM only color tv set, it was made for the former East Germany.

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Hello,
in the next weeks I will get another Raduga colour tv set, the 5BG (I am not really sure, perhaps this might be an early Rubin colour tv set), and two Russian colour tv portables: Junost C440 D and Silelis C445 D. I do not know any Rigonda colour tv sets. Rigonda only produced b/w tv sets. In the attachment I have placed a photo which shows IMHO for the first time in the world a working Sovjet colour tv set, the Raduga 706, and an U.S. working colour tv set, the RCA Adrich, on the same photo. The Sovjet colour tv set was operated with SECAM input, the U.S. colour tv set was operated with NTSC input. The next time I hope that I can arrange a third color tv set with both, a PAL one. Kind regards, Eckhard |

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Just caught up with this thread. Excellent work Eckhard I agree with other poster that it looks like British colour sets of the late 1960s.
Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Hello,
recently I found that the picture tube removal of the Raduga is much easier than with other colour tv sets over here. Normally, one has to remove the entire chassis to pull the picture tube out from the back of the set. The picture tube in the Raduga can be removed from the front of the set. One can remove the bezel and pull the picture tube out of the set without removing the chassis or parts of it. Does somebody know whether this kind of picture tube removal is also applied to other colour tv sets? Kind regards, Eckhard |

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
I think, but I'm not 100% sure, this was also used in some B&O sets such as the Beovision Avant.

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
some 60s and 70s Italian B/W sets had the CRT mounted from the front of the set, usually the ones with the tinted glass in front of the screen.

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
fascinating set. How easy is it to find such things over there? I imagine there are large parts of the former DDR where you can find junk shops or flohmarkts? Or maybe like here in spain you can often just be lucky and find old sets in the street, skips etc.

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Sovjet tv sets are hard to find. Only a few of them survived due to the fire hazards. It is easier to get some from Poland. Recently, I have got a Junost C440. In the next weeks I will collect a Rubin 401.

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
K70? Surely not? the front of my set (S26K497 I think?) is wooden with a push through tube but I am willing to be proven wrong!
Cheers Lee

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
The information came from "Television", they reckon it takes 2 hours to get the tube out through the back and twenty minutes through the front. I'd imagine they were talking about the standard 26" model.
Go on, try it! Let's see the pictures. |

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Hello Eckhard,
That is a handsome set indeed, I presume with the valve count this set also uses a valve decoder like the G6, must pull my G6 out and get on with it! Excellent stuff, make sure you post some pictures when you get it fired up! How do you know the tube is good? Cheers Lee

Re: Sovjet color tv set Raduga
Facinating pictures indeed Eckhard. Thanks for sharing them with us. I wonder how the performance of these sets compares with European sets of the day?
Looking forward to the next piece of news from you!
