[Telecolor 3007]

Last Saturday, in Romania, in some cityes we had an reiclying. People where invited to let theyr tv's, radios, other elctronics, plus thing like refrigerators, vacum cleaners in the front of theyr bulindings in order to guys from the garbage servicies to pick-up them in order those things (radios, tv, fridges...) to reiclying. The only intresting electronics that I found in my area where 2 '90's tv sets" assambled in Bucharest, Romania by N.E.I. (Network Electronica International)", but couldn't carry them (I don't have a car, not even a side car motorcycle).

But Sunday, I passed by the place from my sector where they are colecting electronics and household stuff and I noticed and intresting radio. 1st time I thought it was a Soviet made one. I've talked to the guardian and the talled me to pass by later. I passed later, and I took a better look at the radio. It was an nice East-German one, and it had C.C.I.R. F.M. (unfortnley 88-100 MHz, not up to 108, anyway, better then had the O.I.R.T. F.M.: 65-73 MHz). Lucky me, the guardian there accepted the bribe (legally, once the apparates are stored in this centers they are not allow to sell the, but sometimes bribe works).
Slow and slow I carryed it home. The guys from center talled me that the radio ain't workin', but it worked. Not on F.M. Because the tubes from F.M. where missin'. Probably they didn't realize that. I realized it when I looked to the paper from the chassie where the position of the tubes and filters is displayed and seen that there are displayed less tubes then the one counted on the back cover; if I would have looked on a pic taken from ebay I would have noticed that earlyer.
The radio haves some working problems. The light bulbs from the dial don't work all the time (probably some dirty contacts), the on/off rotary switch isn't work propley. And some one rip off those metal sheets in which the screews where screewed in order to attach the back cover; the radio dose't have any more the bottom cover.

The tubes are: -
- 1 x EABC 80;
- 2 x EF 85 (one for F.M.);
- 1 x EC 92 (for F.M.),
- 1 x ECH 81 (for A.M.),
- 1 x EL 11 (for audio) - it can be repleced with EL 84/6BQ5/6P14P/6P15P or with an 6P6S (Russian);
- 1 x EZ 12 (diode) - it can be replaced with EZ 80.
- 1 x EM 11 (tuning eye/magic eye)
An intresting fact is that it seems that the factory that produced the radio wasn't 100% state owned, because on the back cover is written "Rundfunkwerk-Sonata", but also "W. Niemann u. Co. Halle/S.".
