Description

The Solistor S 595 T was the first transistor radio made in Romania and the first set with printed-circuit wiring; it was put into production in 1960 at Electronica in Bucharest under a licence bought in France [1][2]. It is a portable set for long and medium waves [1].

Together with the Enescu S 602 A, it was one of the two novelties of 1960 shown in September 1960 at the consumer-goods pavilion in Bucharest [1]. Its Romanian-designed variant was the Litoral [1].

In the source table, sensitivity is given on medium waves for 50 mW output, selectivity for a signal ±9 kHz away, and output power at 10% distortion [1]. The list of receivers of the Radio Popular period gives the same main data [2].
