The author of the collection recalled that such devices (radio + record players) were popular in the 60-70s of the last century. The next seven of them were considered the most powerful and high quality.

  1. "Rigonda-Mono"... During the Soviet era, this radio was one of the mostpopular due to the good quality-price ratio. It included a turntable and DV / SV / HF / VHF receiver. The power was 3.5 W (enough for a small or medium room). At the same time, the frequency range is from 60 to 12,000 Hz, but the sound of the device was pleasant. It also had three speeds, hitchhiking, a simple tonearm, a connector for connecting additional equipment.
  1. "Belarus R-101-L". One of the alternatives to the previous player.There is also a DV/MW/HF/VHF receiver and a vinyl player with three speeds installed here. Audio system power – 6 W, also four 2GD-29 wideband speakers were installed in the device. Nowadays, such a device could be included in the list of middle-class equipment.
  1. "Rigonda-Stereo"... It was considered one of the most modern devices.Not everyone could buy it because of the high price and large dimensions. In addition, stereo broadcasting and stereo records were not used very often at that time. At the same time, the radio tape recorder was also sold abroad. Its VHF range was 88-104 MHz, and inside each of the two speakers there were two 4GD-28 speakers, and there were also 1GD-19 emitters.
