Kristall - AM / FM combined seven-band all-wave (including VHF range) superheterodyne radio receiver with silent motor tuning and automatic tuning, remote control system, tone register, separate smooth tone controls for low and high frequencies, wideband acoustic . The radio was prepared for production and was exhibited at the 1958 Brussels exhibition in the design of the front and rear walls of organic glass, and special mounts were made on the sides, with the help of which the receiver rotated in different planes. For various reasons, the receiver was not launched into production. In the 70s, the only demonstration copy of the receiver was put up for sale in the Riga store "Skillful Hands" and after some time turned out to be in the collection of Atis Brickmanis.
