A video in Russian of my 1996 Veras RP-225 Transistor World Band Radio showing unboxing, turning on, tuning and reception on all bands which are 1 LW, 2 MW, 5 SW and 1 OIRT ("Soviet FM").
Radio No. 3 is this 1999 VERAS RP 225 Radio Receiver, made in Grodno, Belarus.
Veras radios made by the Grodno Radio Factory (which is no more, thank you international capitalists) were clones of the famous Soviet-era OKEAN (meaning Ocean) radios.
Here it is against the original box it came in.
It says Grodno Radiopribor Factory, the maker of this fine radio.
The box also shows the date of manufacture - 05.1996. And I think I bought in early 1999 in Moscow.
It cost me RUB 500, i.e. about 20 in dead presidents which is dirt cheap for a capable post-WWII type analog tuner, though outmoded and outdated at the time, of course. Still that's the way I like them.
