Vef 202 Radio - Soviet All Band Radio Restoration

Vef 202 Radio - Soviet All Band Radio Restoration
The VEF 202 is a Soviet era radio manufactured in Riga, Latvia sometime between 1971 and 1980 at the Valst Elektrotechniska Fabrika, which translates to Valst Electrotechnical Factory or VEF for short. The VEF 202 is the Soviet only version of the VEF 206 and the difference is the length of certain bands, deliberately shortened to prevent good Soviet citizens from being corrupted by western pop music. I bought this on eBay from a seller in Latvia because it was very cheap and in pretty poor condition. I thought that a video on a Soviet all band radio would make a change from all the British radios I have been playing with recently. I also wanted a shortwave radio to listen to and the VEF 202 is reported to be a good receiver and a low current user. I thought this would make an interesting radio restoration project because the set is suffering from old age, rust and other age related illness. Let's have a look at this set and bring it up to its glory days condition together!
