Sinitsa (USSR)
This is a beautiful Russian body-wearable intercept receiver that was used during the cold war to track down the enemy's clandestine radio stations and to intercept communication between agents. The receiver comes in an inconspcious suitcase with 13 plug-in units and several accessories to cover the entire frequency range from 1 MHz to 1 GHZ.
 
The image on the right shows the contents of the suitcase. Inside the lid is a checklist glued to the back. The bottom contains a polystyrene mold with the various modules and accessories.

At the left is the main unit: the Sinitsa. Below it are some spare (electronic) components and the remote control unit. At the centre is a row of plug-in modules; one for each frequency range. In-all there are 13 plug-units. To the right of the plug-in units are the batteries, a battery charger, a telephone coupling unit, an attenuator, a vibrator and a small speaker.

On top of the modules are normally the antennas and the chest belt. In the image they have been removed to show the other contents of the suitcase.
  
The main unit is curved in such a way that it can be worn in a belt on the chest inconspiciously. A small remote control unit is connected to the main unit with a fixed wire.
 
   Depending on the required frequency range, one of the plug-in units is slotted into the centre part of the main unit. In the picture the frequency range 130 - 160 MHz will be monitored.
 
More information will be made available soon.
