Radio "Terek" in 1955 was developed by the Riga State Electrotechnical Plant "VEF".
By the beginning of 1956, the WEF plant had developed a number of receivers and radio-systems based on finger lamps of various designs and parameters.
Part of the blocks and chassis of these devices were unified.
All devices had a key switch, a rotatable internal magnetic antenna and an internal dipole, if the VHF range is provided.
Radio receivers and class III radiol have 2 speakers, class II and higher four.
The names of the new devices are represented by precious stones: Diamond, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Amber.
There was a river series: Cupid, Angara, Terek, Dvina and a musical series: Concert, Melody, Symphony and others.
Some samples were transferred for production to other plants of the USSR (mainly to new ones, where there were no strong design teams), some were made only by an experimental batch.
In the factory newspaper Vefietis (VEFovets) at the end of 1955 it was reported that the assignment of the USSR Ministry of Radio Engineering to develop 15 models of radio equipment and to manufacture prototypes by VEF designers and manufacturers was successfully completed.
Most of the developed new devices were demonstrated at the 1958 World Exhibition in Brussels and were awarded prizes.
Many developments were shown next year at an exhibition in New York (1959).
The third-class radio "Terek" was only a prototype made in a single copy.
