Comments: Zvezda is the Russian word meaning Star, playing fine,
at night I like especially the illuminated .
Operating this set is pretty strange like driving a car in UK: volume control
is the right !! button, shifting the middle button switches the bands,
rotating the middle button is the tuning, the left button controls the
bandwidth/tone. Schematic available.
Jean-Luc Fradet has the French pendant the Excelsior 52 on his page - maybe the Russians were "inspired" by this French set.
