Harsh Soviet appliances and parts.

[TelegraAudio]

Have you come across parts or devices released in the USSR? What did you use them for?

The only Soviet era example I have is a Komsomolets crystal radio.

A lot of folks like Russian paper-oil capacitors for audio. And Russian tubes. Especially mil surplus, in both cases.

I haven't seen much audio but once in awhile something gets posted here. TVs and radios are more common.

My last russian purchase.. Something similar to this.. Uvarovite specimen.
