Since May, 1957, the Leningrad Defense Plant No. 794 produced an experimental series in the Leningrad Defense Plant Network in May 1957. In mid-1956, the Leningrad Defense Plant No. 794, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, together with IRPA, began work on the creation of a high-end receiver with remote control. Plant number 794 only in 1958 came under the subordination of the Leningrad Council of National Economy, so the mention refers to the receivers, released since 1958. Since 1965, the plant was reformed into the Leningrad plant "Radiopribor". By the beginning of 1957, the receiver was created, its serial coveyor production was prepared, and in May 1957, pilot production began. In the process of releasing its design and electrical circuit has undergone improvements, in particular, the VHF unit was replaced (initially it was different) with a more sensitive one. And if the passport sensitivity on VHF-FM subsequently did not change and was 5 µV, then in reality it did not exceed 15 ... 20 µV, that is, the VHF-FM station that was listening on the old block on the verge of noise with the new block were heard by 20-30%. The release of the radio went slowly for numerous reasons, one of which was the retail price, which was 3,500 rubles, in monetary terms of those years, and the average wage then was 300 ... 400 rubles per month. In 1957, the documentation for the radio was transferred to the AS Popov Riga Plant, where it was produced from the beginning of 1958 under the name "Festival", and its retail price was reduced to 2,760 rubles. At the Leningrad plant number 794, the release of the radio "Leningrad" also continued, but in small series. In total, the Leningrad radio receivers produced about 300 copies. Accordingly, with the start of production of the radio receiver at the Riga Popov Plant, the retail price of the Leningrad radio receiver also decreased to a value of 2,760 rubles. The radio receiver "Leningrad" is intended for the reception of broadcasting stations operating in the Far East, Continental, KV and VHF-FM bands.HF range is divided into four subranges. An internal rotary magnetic antenna is used to receive radio stations in the DV and SV bands, and an internal dipole is used for receiving in the VHF band. For reception in the HF band, an external antenna is needed, which can work in the LW and ST bands. For reliable reception of VHF stations, a special outdoor antenna is needed. The receiver has a separate tone control on the LF and HF, loud compensated volume control, smooth adjustment of the IF bandwidth in the AM path (from 4 to 18 kHz), automatic gain control. Feature - the presence of a device for automatic tuning and tuning on the radio station and remote control, with which at a distance of 6 meters, you can turn on or off the receiver, switch bands, tune in to any radio station and adjust the volume. The receiver also had the usual controls, such as: a band switch, a volume control, an on / off switch and a network switch. The speaker system of the receiver consists of 4 loudspeakers, low-frequency 6GD-1, 2 wide-band 4GD-2 and one high-frequency 1GD-1, providing low-directional radiation characteristic in the entire operating frequency range. The electrical path of the receiver and its speaker system when receiving stations in the UHF band or playing records from an external power supply unit, provides a range of operating frequencies 60 ... 14000 Hz. When received in the bands DV, SV with a wide band the frequency range is 60 ... 8000 Hz. The following lamps are used in the receiver: 6N3P, 6K4P (3), 6I1P, 6H2P, 6N2P (2), 6P14P (3), 6E5S. Two of the lamps listed above, 6Ð2П and 6П14П work in the system of automatic adjustment and tuning. Four germanium diodes are used in the receiving and tuning path; in the power supply unit there is a rectifier ABC-120x270. The rated output power of the receiver is 4 watts. Its dimensions are 670x430x310 mm, weight 24.5 kg. On the two penultimate photos are different VHF-FM units installed in the receiver.
