The story
Most of the transistor radios which were imported into Western Europe from the Soviet Union were built in Minsk Belarus, and in Riga Latvia on the Baltic coast, but a few hundred miles further north east up the Baltic one arrives at the city of St. Petersburg in Russia, known as Leningrad during the Soviet period, where this little radio originated. It was built from 1975 in the Leningrad Radio Devices Works and was known as the Neywa 402 in Russia, and imported into the UK by the Soviet Export organisation Mashpriborintorg via their Technical and Optical Equipment (London) Ltd. outlet and renamed the Signal 601.
Design
This Signal 601 radio has been adapted into a music speaker. You will be able to enjoy listening to your own music through an iconically-styled loudspeaker.
The radio has been cleaned thoroughly before being converted. It's bluetooth enabled so can be paired with any other bluetooth device to play music through. This means its all wireless and the original design is left unaffected.
