radiofropl: Komsomol {Комсомолец}

This is only a Google translation from the site: sstu.ru/museum-radio
for enabling owners to understand the usage of the set more precise:

"Recommended dish: outdoor, with a total length of 40-50 m and a height of suspension of at least 10 ... 16 m antenna wire that fits the receiver is embedded in a single-pole plug, plugs into the A-1, A-2, A-3 , A-4 or A-5 depending on the length of the received radio wave. As used sheet metal grounding size 60x60 cm or more, buried in the ground to a depth of 1 m from the ground wire is embedded in a single-pole plug, this plug must be inserted into the slot 3. Headphones applied piezoelectric or electromagnetic type. Plug from the headphones are inserted into the slot T.

For preliminary rough adjustment of the receiver on the radio, plug the antenna wire and the detector is inserted into the corresponding slots top of the receiver. If the plug to the antenna wire is inserted into the socket A-1, A-2, then the detector should their forks inserted into the left two detector slots 1 and 2; if the plug to the antenna wire is inserted into the socket A-3, A-4 and A-5, the detector need to rearrange the right pair of detector sockets 2 and 3. Fine tune the station achieved slow rotation knob associated with alsiferovym core. When turning this knob to tune in a station, running about in the following waves: From 2000 to 1100 m, spruce plug the antenna wire is inserted into the socket A-1, from 1200 to 670 m in A-2, and from 800 to 470 m A-3, 570 to 340 m in A-4 and 350 to 250 m in A-5. Recommendation is valid for the above antenna. To receive the Moscow radio stations operating at wavelengths 1724 and 1293 m, plug the antenna wire should be inserted into slot A-1 and slowly change the setting until the best hearing in the headphones received station."

More for the sets which can be found at Radiomuseum.org with the search term
Комсомолец

At the moment we show 7 diefferent model pages for this term. But only three of them show crystal detectors. See here the pre war version with a photo.

On the site MSEVM on page msevm.com/oldradio/komsomolec/
can be found several pictures and the schematic which i have copied and enlarged on our model page.

There is important information too which is a bit in contrast to post number one, at least by date 1939 to 1949 or the Google translation is incorrect and it is meant for an earlier version:

"Crystal set "Komsomolets"

    Manufactures industrial detector raliopriemnik "Komsomolets" - perhaps one of the most famous and meanwhile receivers in the history of this, there are white spots. : Write, do not know exactly who is the designer of this receiver, and since when this receiver is released. Predpolozhietlno receiver was produced from 1939 to 1949.

The main parts are the three receiver coils L1, L2, L3. Coils are wound on a common paper frame. Coarse adjustment is carried switched coils - or rather, the core of alsifera that moves inside a coil with a small crank mechanism. Earth is connected through razdeliteny capacitor C1, the 550 pF. Telephone jacks are locked receiver capacitor C4, capacitance 1200 pF."

"The upper portion of the receiver available slot for A1-A5 podkyucheny antenna.

The receiver can be configured to wave from 2000 to 215 m, when the antenna jack:

   A1 - 2000-1100 m
   A2 - 1200-670 m
   A3 - 800-470 m,
   A4 - 570-340 m,
   A5 - 350-215 m

Depending on to which slot the antenna is connected, and the detector must be transposed. When the antenna is included on the left of the detector, the detector is included in the left pair of sockets, if included in the right antenna of the detector, the detector pair is rearranged into the right slots."

I think this is most important text for using the interesting and not very simple set. On that MSEVM page your find also photos of the pre war version which has an other shape,
