Description

The Eforie S 692 A is an AM-FM tube radio receiver made by Electronica in Bucharest; it was also made in a CCIR version for export [1]. The Traviata 1 and Traviata 3 have the same circuit [1].

The Eforie family (types 1–4) took a further step in reducing metal and assembly work: the plastic dial backing and the waveband switch were mounted directly on the receiver’s single circuit board [1]. The Traviata, a plain receiver and a radiogram built on the same chassis, was the last tube radio made at Electronica, in 1969 [1].

In the source table, sensitivity is given on medium waves for 0.5 W output, selectivity for a signal ±9 kHz (AM) or ±300 kHz (FM) away, the audio response within 6 dB, and output power at no more than 10% distortion [1].
