Description:

This radio is identical to the Euridika type except the fact that it is equipped with the so-called Western FM band. The Eastern Bloc used the OIRT band that lies between 66 and 73 MHz, but the Western countries used the CCIR band from 88 to 108 MHz. The Eastern radios usually had only Eastern norm tuner except for the Tesla radios, most of which were equipped with a tuner for both norms since the 1970s. Thanks to this, it was possible to receive West-German or Austrian stations. In the beginning of the 1990s, the OIRT band was abandoned, but the Tesla radios could be kept in operation.
