c.1965 Selga (Селга)

2-band LW/MW coat pocket radio, thermoplastic cabinet
6 5/8 x 3 13/16 x 1 5/8 inches / 168 x 97 x 41 mm
Seven transistors, one standard 9-volt battery
Manufactured at Popov Riga Radio Plant; Riga, Latvia

As with the earlier 1963 Selga and actually almost all Soviet radio models, this Selga doesn't have a model number, just a name. And as with the '63 Selga, this Selga has a reverse-painted tuning dial, though it's not nearly as interesting as the '63's dial. And this cabinet has the same dimensions as the '63 Selga's cabinet.
"Made in USSR" is stamped on the cabinet's back face, indicating that it's an export radio, exported to both Eastern and Western Europe.
