Wow, that would be a National HRO receiver. Quite capable radio.


I think it was a variant of what in the UK is called R1155E RAF Receiver 10D/1332

If not exactly that model, very similar.


DC high voltage (200v) is very dangerous and pernicious, and mores difficult to switch on and off because of arcs.


Very old US light switches often had both AC and DC current ratings, and the DC rating was noticeably lower due to the arcing problem, even with fast-acting snap action.

My grandfather worked in a Chicago office building that had 110V DC service even into the 1960s. He had to be careful to buy fans, radios, etc. that could run on DC.


Yes, it’s more dangerous, but technically “high voltage” doesn’t start until 1500 V DC (and 1000 V RMS for AC) by most standards (e.g. IEC 60038)


Contax I with the 5cm f/1.2 should be there.

Nah, that requires a judeochristian god. It may not be the case.

However, Vladivostok is the main Russian naval port to the Mediterranean. So Russia has very much concerns about what flag flies over Crimea.


The largest port on Black Sea is in Russian province of Krasnodar Krai.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union brought up a question of headquarters relocation to Novorossiysk. In September 1994 Novorossiysk Naval area was reestablished, three years later it was officially reorganised into Novorossiysk Naval Base.[62] To ensure its modernisation and development the government initiated special federal programme 'On Black Sea Navy Fleet Base at the Territory of Russian Federation in 2005—2020'. [...] The naval base is equipped with 5 berths (including floating dock) capable to receive up to 100 vessels from 1500 to 30,000 DWT. The submarine base shelters all 7 diesel-powered submarines of Russian Black Sea Navy.[citation needed]
