- V.S. stood for video sunet = video sound (the radios had only an S for Sound, execpet those manufcatured by "Electromagnetica/Grigore Preoteasa" wich had EM in stad of S)
- 43 stood for the diagonale, 43 cm = 17"
- 61 for 1961
- 1 for model 1
The tv set was assambled at "Electronica" Factory from Bucharest under licence "CSF" - France. The factory still exist, but it was split it 3. The production now is very low, the majority of the room beeing rented.
The knob was mounted on the right side. The antena mounted on the top of the set wa manufactured by "Electromureş (Electromuresh)" from Tārgu Mureş. A intresting fact is that this tv set used 75 ohms coaxial cable. Later tube models had 300 ohms antena cable. Another intresting thing is that the case was made from metla, not from wood as at later models.
Later I'll put some tehnical infos.
The tv is in custody of Muzeul U.P.B. (U.P.B. = Universitatea "Polithenica" Bucureşti) = The Musem of "Polithenica (the Poliethnics)" Bucharest University.
