Vela 202 television set

The black-and-white Vela 202 CRT television set was the first portable TV set manufactured in Poland (in 1975-1978). The Vela 202 is a transistor receiver powered by mains or battery (car battery) and designed to receive television channels in the OIRT standard in VHF and UHF ranges. The TV set had a 12-inch, A31-310W cathode-ray tube displaying a monochrome image. The elliptical Tonsil GD 8x12/1,5-4 with a dissipationless magnetic circuit, which does not affect the video quality, is embedded under the housing. The electrical system uses 17 transistors, six integrated circuits, and 34 diodes, which are placed on a cuboid plastic frame. The Vela has three programmable channels. A total of about 220,000 units of the different versions of this device were manufactured in 1973–1990. The Vela was also exported to Germany, Austria, France, and the UK.
