Description
The Record S 49 U is an AC/DC mains tube radio receiver made in Bucharest by Radio Popular, the factory that became Electronica in 1960 [1]. It was assembled from kits imported from the Soviet Union [1].
Built in 1949, it was the first radio receiver produced at Radio Popular, the former Philips factory [1]. The book rates it as a class IV set (the second-lowest class by later standards), clearly inferior to the receivers made earlier in the same factory under Philips, and notes that it was made in two cabinet versions [1].
The text describes it as a set with 3 + 1 tubes for long and medium waves [1], while the specification table in the book’s annex, shown above, lists five tubes and three wavebands [1].
In the source table, sensitivity is given for 50 mW output, selectivity at 1 MHz for ±10 kHz detuning, the audio frequency response at −6 dB relative to 400 Hz, and output power at 10% distortion [1].
