Radio has good exterior condition for its years – see pictures carefully. The front of radio (dial, knobs) is original, the back cover too. The wooden cased restored (colored).

VEF Super M557 is made in a rounded wooden case and is equipped with a large round dial with backlighting, on which the designations of wavelengths, frequencies and city names are plotted with colors for the respective ranges. At the bottom of the scale in the window, the included range is indicated in this color. Optical tuning indicator – magic eye allows you to silently tune to the desired station. Management: the volume control combined with the switch (left knob), the control knob (when it is pulled, the UPCH band expands), the range switch (right knob). In the first issues, the HF range covered the sections 16 m and 19 m, later it began only with 25 m. The receiver is built on octal lamps in glass and metal (with the control grid upward) cylinders, manufactured in the USSR under license from RCA. The design of the radio is the development of the pre-war line of receivers with a round dial (from VEFSuper MD / 39 to VEFSuper M517).

The loudspeaker located on the left side of the front panel has a bias. Parcel will be well and securely packed. Contact me with any question.
