I study the whole Glasnost and Perestroika period and am trying to develop this interest into USSR transistors and radios. The Soviet economy was run via targets so the tech factories took short-cuts to churn out consumer items. I wouldn't say the quality was overly bad but time constraints and targets would have inspired cheating. I repeat the USSR TV I watched in Estonia was pretty decent. The audio was better and deeper than the streamlined modern sets. It weighed a ton. No chance of competing as an export TV but basically did the job.
