From the seller's notes
The Selga 405 is a Soviet portable transistor radio produced in the mid-1970s at the Radiotehnika factory in Riga, Latvia, then part of the USSR. This working Selga 405 comes in a black plastic case with its original genuine leather carrying case, and has the distinctive circular tuning dial that gives it a space-age look.

Condition
Used, working. The radio powers on, the tuning dial turns smoothly and the volume control works. The plastic body is intact with no cracks. The leather case shows authentic age-related wear and patina. The battery compartment is clean, with no sign of old battery leakage, and the original battery connector is functional. Radio reception on the LW and MW bands depends on broadcasts available in your region.
About This Piece
Riga's Radiotehnika factory was one of the best-known makers of Soviet consumer audio, and the Selga name appeared on portable radios that were popular across the USSR. The Selga 405 is a compact, pocketable set that looks good on display and is a fine addition to a collection of Soviet electronics. Having the original leather case with it adds to the period feel.
