  • Model: Transistor VL3141 - Visiola di Dequarti P. & C.;
  • Shape
  • Portable set > 8 inch (also usable without mains)
  • Dimensions (WHD)
  • 252 x 208 x 83 mm / 9.9 x 8.2 x 3.3 inch
  • Notes
  • FM, from the dial, above 106 MHz.
    Illuminated dial, at least when powered by AC power. Metal faceplate protecting the speaker.
    On the top, two metal knobs for on/off - volume, and tuning; two metal buttons in the center for band selection; on the left, a metal CAF button for automatic FM tuning; on the right, a telescopic antenna, internal when not in use, fully rotatable, with 7 sections, 75.5 cm; a large screw, to the right of the tuning knob, whose function is undetectable, since internally it has only a washer and a fixing nut: perhaps a modification to disguise the elimination of a mains/battery switch?
    On the rear panel, the rigid handle, the mains connection on the bottom left, and, below, a window to view the voltage in use. At the top, on both sides, two slotted screws with exit barriers.
    Internally, a 12 cm bar ferrite; speaker with a magnet over 4.5 cm in diameter; on the bottom left, under the mains socket, a three-position voltage selector; protected variable capacitor; battery compartment with limited removable capacity, secured by solder joints.

    Beside the two unknown transistors from the audio output stage, there are two transistors with designation M375 present.
