RIGONDA "STARLET"

NOTES	A set produced by the Russian manufacturer "V/O Mashpriborintorg". Most of the components are mounted on a hinged panel that swings horizonal (see picture below). Uses those funny little transistors that look like miniature flying saucers. I seem to recal that the reception on this set was a tad insensitive.
SERVICE DATA	I have a copy of the original "Trader" service sheet, a copy of which can also be found on the Vintage Television Service Data CDROM.
CURRENT STATE	A few battle scars and missing screws. Worked 20 years ago. Daren't switch it on now.
WHERE FOUND	Swapped for a stereo valve radiogram in the 70's. It later did sterling service as a monitor for my then modern Acorn Atom computer, regularly travelling in a ruck sack between home (Bristol) and Manchester University. It was subsequently retired to the attic from whence I rescued it a couple of years ago.

You can imagine how tightly packed this gets when you try and
fold the PCB back up to its normally vertical position.
