Eroica 3201 radio receiver

The Eroica 3201 is a luxury class radio receiver, which was compared with the German Beethoven radio and the Stradivari. The name of the radio makes a reference to Ludvig van Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony, composed in 1802-1804. The word “eroica” was taken from the Italian subtitle: sinfonia eroica – heroic symphony. Initially, it was announced that the radio would be called the Milenium. The Eroica is a vacuum tube (superheterodyne) radio receiver designed to receive long, medium and short wave radio stations broadcast in the amplitude modulation (AM) system, and on UHF in the frequency modulation (FM) system. The device was manufactured in 1960 in Warsaw. In terms of design, the shape of the radio’s housing adheres to the design standards of the 1950s and early 1960s, and yet, to some extent, its aesthetics break out of the trends of the time.
