This is a late adoption from the USSR. As for this receiver, it was called differently, but it was the same receiver. For example, it was called Ocean. The line of models with a single design idea begins earlier with the VEF-202, 206 or Ocean-201, 203 receivers. Later they received the name Spidola. A late version of the Spidola 232. But the original source is the design idea and work of the VEF plant team in the early 70s, they provided a model for a further series of different models, but with the same design architecture for many years to come. Аt the end of the video I hear interference from switching impulse power supplies or lamps around.

yes man u know a lot about this receivers.I had also a vef with tape in the '80

However, I am just about to buy one of those models but nobody says anything about the differences between them. so B215 vs B216 vs b211. Surely there must be some difference between them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have different model numbers. So...??? The higher the number the newer. Should I buy the 216 or !?!?!

The FM band works fine on my Selena (in Greece) but the bottom housing of the antenna is broken and, therefore, not connected to the receiver. Might an external/'modern' antenna help to receive SW signal properly? (the pinkish wire is still present!) Thanks

[@diymariuselectro]

yes u need a proper antena for short waves and fm.

[@ΠαναγιωτηςΠαπουτσης-π5λ]

@@diymariuselectro what i did just the reception on fm mw lw remains low and weak as is the sound ..nothing to do with the short waves they play perfectly.

[@richardh100]

the FM band does work because of faulty oscillator capacitors driffer off in the fm can

[@diymariuselectro]

you are right,but also is east fm band.now we use west fm band.

[@giggling_boatswain]

In the USSR there was a different FM band. Europe 87-108 MHz Russia 65.9-74 MHz
