Description:

The famous Talisman series has started with this type, made by Telegrafia in Pardubice since 1946. After the factory was nationalised, the production continued under the Tesla brand. The design was modernized in 1949 and was marked as 305U. The cabinet was the same, but the mechanical design of the chassis was altered. Since 1951, the dial moved to the front of the cabinet and the radio was made as 306U, 307U and 308U types, differing with cabinet design. The last Talismans 308U have left the factory in 1958.
