						with loctal 
						tubes), but is was quite dependable because of 
						the proven design. Many radios were manufactured (it is 
						estimated that more than a million of them were made)

						behind the Iron Curtain. The Talisman radios became very collectable, because of 
						their design. The colour 
						of the radio is a dark reddish brown with contrasting 
						white knobs (urea formaldehyde on a bakelite core); the scale has 2 
						colours. |
