VEF Spidola ((ラトビア語:VEF Spīdola), (ロシア語:ВЭФ Спидола)) was the first mass-produced transistor radio with short wave band in the Soviet Union. It was manufactured by the VEF factory in Riga, Latvia, since 1962. A small series under the name "Spidola" (''Спидола'' ПМП-60〔"ПМП-60" stands for Полупроводниковый Малогабаритный Приёмник выпуска 1960 года, or "Semiconductor Compact Receiver, production year 1960"〕) was manufactured since 1960.〔("Spidola" ) 〕〔("Transistor radios of the Soviet Union 1961-1996" )〕 It was named after the fictional witch Spīdola from the Latvian epic poem. The word "spidola" was a genericised trademark for "transistor radio" for long time in Russian〔''(russian)'' («Спидолу» писали с маленькой буквы…//Телеграф, № 56 (294) от 22 марта 2004 )〕 (other synonyms included "transistor"). In many cases, the Spidola was used to listen to Western stations (such as the ''Voice of America ).''. The criminal prosecution of at least one Soviet dissident involved confiscation of the Spidola as an "instrument of crime," but without specifying the "crime" committed with the confiscated Spidola.〔("Processes of past years" ) (''Chronicle of Current Events'', issue 33) 〕 == Specifications == First "Spidola" was a ten-transistor, seven-band superheterodyne. Some versions were eight-band. * Intermediate frequency: 465 kHz. * Tuning range Longwave, Medium Wave and more than five short wave ranges (13, 16, 19, 25, 31, 41, 49 and 52–75 meters) (# ). * Power supply: six D cells, of 9 V total. * Output power: 150 mW. * Dimensions: 275×197×90 mm. * Weight without batteries: 2,2 kg. * Price (1960s): abt. 73 rubles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「VEF Spidola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
