Description

The Cristal VS 43-623 is a black-and-white tube television set made by Electronica in Bucharest from a relatively small number of kits imported from Czechoslovakia [1]. It has conventional wiring, a drum channel switch, a shielded IF block and all controls on the front [1]. The Smaragd is the same set in another version [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].
