Three valve refex receiver
In dark brown bakelite with cream white plastic around loudspeaker and scale and cream white knurled knobs with gold coloured centres. The scale is illuminated from above. The on/off/volume knob is on the left, the knob on the right is used for tuning. The radio is cheaply made and uses a reflex circuit. In this circuitry the hf valve is used twice. The R822 only receives medium wave stations. Tihany is the name of a peninsula in Lake Balaton.
