Hello from Cuba

[Nowhere-Man]

Thanks, Miguel. I will definitely follow your advice and hope you stay on the forum to share your experience with these USSR radios. So far I have had some success with this Riga radio.. It was initially totally dead. The battery compartment was doing nothing. I finally decided to dismantle the chassis so all the knobs had to be removed. The waveband knob was hard because the grub screw was accessed down the shat. I had to push the aerial right down as well to clear space to wriggle the chassis free. I then found the bulbs were dead. After tracing the power lines it finally burst into life but no stations yet.
