Description

The Azur VS 43-621 is a black-and-white tube television set made by Electronica in Bucharest from 1962 [1]. It was an improved version of the French-licence sets (VS 43-611), built with kits partly imported from CSF and completed with components made at Electronica and at IPRS Băneasa [1]. A later version was the Tonitza VS 43-621 A [1].

In the source table, video sensitivity is given for 6 V rms on the picture-tube cathode, sound sensitivity for 50 mW output, the selectivity values are, in order, the rejection of the own sound carrier, of the lower adjacent sound carrier, of the upper adjacent picture carrier, of the IF and of the image frequency, and the audio response at −3 dB [1].
