This is the first model of a series of SOKOL sets products in Soviet Union since the '60s.
It’s a two band receiver, in medium and long waves, and the tuning dial is glass made.

On the right side of the radio there is tuning knob, power switch / volume knob and the aerial socket.

On the left side there is jack for the headphone.

In the rear of the radio there is the band sliding switch and a special plug for the battery charger.
The radio is powered by a 9 V rechargeable battery (included in the set) and the charger works with an adapter transformer 220 / 9 V. plus two rectifier diodes.

The radio, of course, can work even with a normal battery 9V (not-rechargeable).

In this SOKOL model, the trade mark is shown only on the box, not on the radio.
