Det ska vara en receiver från -75, "digitally controlled via touchpad and LED display".

Någon som vet om vad som krävdes för att man skulle få såna här prylar i Sovjet? Kunde pöbeln gå och plocka ut det man ville ha eller var det reserverat för kamrater högre upp i hierarkin?
(lustigt praktiserande av teori , att antitesen till klass-samhället skulle vara ett nytt klass-samhälle styrt av andra gubbar från priviligerade bakgrunder. Men så blev ju koket av syntessoppan rätt misslyckat. Nog med Marx och Hegel dock, vet att man inte får diskutera politik här)
In 1983 MSRP was 250 rubles. It was about month and a half salary for an entry-level engineer. Just keep in mind-medicine and education were free and rent (nobody at that time actually can legally own an apartment) was dirt cheap either...
To compare: in the same 1983 median income in US was $20,885 a year or roughly $1,740 a month. Minus taxes, mortgage, so on and so forth...
And for how much more or less decent integrated amplifier was selling for?
Say $300-400?
So it wasn't really a question of affordability.
Because of the limited number produced it was hard to buy it in the store.
But if you knew a guy who knew a guy....
Now about components... All the components were made with Mil-spec in mind. Only after quality inspection those which didn't meet the specs were used in anything made for consumer's "market".
However some of the gear was made as a required percentage of consumer products by military suppliers (they all had to make something for regular people. Tanks or bombers for the state and let's say bread containers or paper clips for everyone else). So they used mil-spec components which they had plenty of to begin with...Since most of the factories were working for the military to begin with a lot of stereos were made with sturdy high quality diodes, resistors, transistors and such....
It was not about choosing which components to use. It was about using what was readily available at the factory's warehouse.
Believe me-none of that stereos were made specifically for the party leaders... Big party bosses were using Sansui or Marantz, not Soviet Radiotechnika or Electronica equipment. Everything went to retail and was more or less affordable and available. But because of the planned economy nobody really cared to meet the demand and planned quantities were not even close to the numbers needed.
That's more or less the story behind Soviet consumer electronics.
If some Russian stereo reminds you of a nuclear sub it is not because it was designed that way. It was simply because designer behind that piece didn't know any better....
