St. Petersburg radio market Juno

Actually, the radio markets in our country are not very large, so the names of Moscow-Petersburg ones are always heard.



A bit of the history of the St. Petersburg market.
For the first time, a spontaneous market began to take shape at the “Junior Technician” store, which is located at 55 Krasnoputilovskaya as far back as the 80s of the last century.

(the same house, for many years like another store)
The reason was that in times of total shortage, there were only a few shops selling radio components for all of Peter, and they didn’t shine with an assortment. According to this, people gathered at the entrance to the store and tried to buy or sell something. And all this was done from the underground, because the activity was considered illegal, and often the “crowd” of 30-40 people was driven by the police. For this, someone was, say, with instructions from a tape recorder in their hands, someone was holding a list of available transistors pinned to the jacket lining. In general, everything is like in the film “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes the Profession”.

By the end of the 80s, the crowd grew significantly, first moving just across the road (still driven by the police), and then some enterprising people fenced a piece of earth with an iron net behind the railway line, ponastavil inside the trays (iron table + visor), and began to take entrance fee. Naturally, the event began to be called the wrong business club, or something else, for protection, some local gangsters sheltered themselves, and no police would ever chase anyone.

(the same place of the former market on the right in the frame where the concrete wall is now.
on the left behind the bus you can see the corner of the house where the “Young Technician” was)
')
The popularity of this place quickly became incredibly high, the common people and the radio amateur finally got the opportunity to buy and sell everything your heart desires. On a good day, inside the "pen" there was nowhere for the apple to fall, many no longer fit inside and sold from the ground around. All the surrounding streets were filled with cars, often the cars were standing right on the paths at the crossing, so periodically passing trains were forced to buzz for a long time, so that they would be missed. The path from the Avtovo metro station (the closest path was through the courtyards) was quickly overgrown with beer stalls, and the “craftsmen” drove beer jams into the asphalt to form advertising labels from the traffic jams.

Actually, the very same “Radio market in Avtovo” was born, and as far as it was one of my hobbies, and lived close by, my friends and I were spinning around the market almost every weekend - parts were bought, spectra were soldered, tapes were bought or exchanged games and software - mass memories associated with this place, almost all the new products that appeared in the world for the first time we saw there (radio telephones, video cameras, computers, answering machines, etc.). But the only thing I wanted to point out separately - right behind the entrance, was the tray where the first PC components that I felt were sold (then it was XT and AT machines) and it was called “Oleg and sons” - it was such a footwear printed on a matrix (or even drum ) a printer, one sheet in height a4, and the width of the entire tray. I'm already starting to forget some other details, but this powerful company name and the first PCs seen and sold on the PC are in memory forever :)

It’s a pity that it didn’t occur to anyone to take a picture of how it all happened, it would be interesting for mega now to see photos of those years.
Actually this thought made me capture at least the current moment in the life of the market.
Also sometimes acquaintances from other cities are interested in Yunona, I hope the review will give some idea.

So, what is the "Juno" now.

Somewhere in the mid-90s, the market from the rather narrow corner of Krasnoputilovskaya perezzhaet on a huge area of ​​the hill at the very end of Marshal Kazakov.
(View from space)

Many vehicles from the same Avtovo go there, so some people still call it “Avtovo Market”. By the end of the 90s, the hype associated with various radio equipment subsides,
which forces the market to abandon the entry fee, as well as expand the thematic coverage of the market in the direction of clothing lines. Then, from the beginning of the 2000s, the market itself no longer radically
changed

As a rule, most minibuses bring you here to this corner of Kotin and Kazakov.

Visible is the lower free parking lot and the hill with the inscription.

Climbing up the hill you can look at the parking lot, it immediately becomes clear "crowded" day or not. Now, on this photo, the day is good, but not yet as crowded as possible, free parking spaces are visible in the far rows, and there are no double rows in the front rows.


Looking back you can see a constant stream of people back and forth.


Right behind the inscription, from the footpath to the main entrance there is a “flea market”.
There are four to five rows trading from the ground or from their tables.

A good day, there are people and sellers and buyers.

Look here for some radio things are not particularly worth it, most of the merchants bring trash, although sometimes interesting trash.
Here, for example, photo trash :).


It can also be strange: I do not understand what you can sell from the items brought by this person - the keys to the clock, the tap of the samovar, the power supplies.

But the man is standing. Although, as I understand it, many sellers come here just like in a club - to chat with neighbors or customers, to bask in the sun ...

Although there are exceptions, people who bring some equipment, tools from year to year.
for example, here are comrades with construction equipment


The pictures embroidered on fabric


Here's a funny guy who has a whole pile of electronic junk.


It seems to whom and why these boards may be needed? But I was rescued by its presence more than once, when you need some kind of connector or chip, which you could not find separately - buy some mother or a vidyahu for a conditional fifty dollars and solder from it.


guitars decorated with broken cd and rope (?)


Numismatists


foreign coins by weight ...


... and on the contrary screws on the weight.


There are lovers of digging antiquity and selling. this time they were somehow not enough, and usually there are 2-3 tables.


typewriter with qwertz surrounded by irons


But these comrades regularly bring records from abroad, most likely from Finland.
I stopped buying Pink Flood's “wish you where here” from the 1975 Canadian edition, almost in perfect condition.


Here Dedok-balalaika walk, entertains a rather cheerful game. Five to seven years I see him here periodically.


Shaverma vs. Shawarma. When you try to approach tout vied with each other. In fact, both stalls make the same food, and not the same as in the whole city. Shawarma itself
they make thick, add there more and baked potatoes and give a fork.


There are also radio parts, although the main cluster is not there, but later on in the market.


More slides flea market









Immediately on the side sell log houses and houses:


- We passed through the ranks of the flea market, and reached the main entrance.
View down to Kazakov Street, a free bus is visible, which travels from the Avtovo metro station and Leninsky Prospekt.

In the opposite direction - the main entrance to the market.


Yes, Juno makes a diligent view that the flea market does not exist, even on the plan it is not marked, and the market itself begins only now.

The scheme itself is conventionally divided into “Auto Market”, “Radio Market” and “Vessel Series”, but this is not always respected.

So, the actual “entrance” (which is also quite conditional), from it in all directions there are rows and pavilions.

At the entrance there are people who can buy “any CD”, only the price tag will not please you. The consequences of anti-piracy - drives for PCs from the market have almost disappeared.

Actually, if we walk a little straight ahead, we will see rows of stalls (almost the same as they were on the oldest market, except under a big roof). This is the epicenter of the "radio" part
market, the rows themselves, stalls around them and 5 pavilions around the perimeter.


Central row. People here is never very much the case.


On trays basically any amateur radio. Cable, parts, connectors.
Here is a typical example with connectors and LEDs.

Soldering accessories, tin. solder, shrinking, PCB, montazhki,

One of the last remaining trays with kompovoy kit.
Komplektuha on trays almost all moved to the stalls and container 7-10 years ago (more fit and make everything after the working day is not necessary), but this is stubborn. :)


Stalls around the perimeter.
Most of course with new and not very cell phones.

But still decent and other options
But a typical representative of the late 90s - a stall buying parts with gold and platinum for remelting.

whether they have already exhausted all resources, or prices have fallen for gold, but most of these have been closed for a long time.

There are not many places left where there are different old computer hardware, about 6-10 places.
The rest repurposed and sell almost exclusively new.
But here is one of these stalls with old.


Further small appliances still exist in the surrounding pavilions.
entrance


Inside there are a couple of dozen trading places, but the conditions are more human.
There you’ll have your Windows installed and your cell phone is soldered "without departing from the cash register."


From the radio is worth noting a place where you can find a bunch of different connectors (and not only)


The price list for the whole door with small text will give a light to a medium-sized computer company in the city. :)


Here is another place of a good man, he used to bring many interesting rarities from abroad.
Well, in general, as I understand it, I am more interested in old iron. In the price list on the glass you can still find something creative soundblaster 16


The rest without any comments








Stand-alone shop "Profi".
Many useful amateur trivia (and not only).



You can find a different rarer set in it, such as bga solder paste.

But quite far from the rest of the radio, a separate container, where many old amplifiers, receivers, tape recorders ...


On this, the radio part can be considered complete.
I showed a very small percentage of what is on the market, but to show everything completely is simply not realistic.
- What else is interesting?
Behind the radio market there is a large square with tables and a stage, on it during working hours, as a rule, someone sings to plywood all the time. There is a place to sit quietly over coffee in good weather.

Near any skipping pins for children.


Further in the clothing ranks built two huge pavilion. Inside, the doors open when approaching and the usual assortment comparable to any urban shopping center.


But they still have the old container storage ranks.


Here you can find great clothes at bargain prices.
Rows of open containers with jackets, jeans, sneakers and other intimacy go into the distance.


The whole pavilion is packed with discs. A good competitor to every iceberg and titanic in the city.


Not far from the entrance - anime magnazin




In one of the pavilions - store models of technology



There are also a couple of small music shops.


Mountain bike, leaving the horizon


From the auto market section


The auto market is certainly not like Fuchik, of the details is only small things and tools, but all sorts of car audio / tuning / signaling - everyone does
(in my opinion there is even an “alarm” office somewhere).

Or here braziers


Tea symphony


There are offices selling large life. technique


But it seems to me that there is no big sense to go to Juno, there is less space, and the choice is the same.

T-shirts and weapons on the side


Just slides






Effel Tower props up the cafe.






- Epilogue:
A frequent question for what actually now go to Yunon.
I am attracted to the following things - from amateur radio you can find almost everything you need. There are five radio shops in the city, almost everybody does not work on weekends, and the chance that something will not be in one, and something in the other is quite large.
Next - in one place a lot of different things. You can buy jeans and a soldering iron, you do not have to spend a lot of time on this.
Plus a flea market. Sometimes there are funny or interesting things.
Well, to some extent we can say that there is a habit. Since childhood, we have often been spinning in this market, at some point we ourselves haggled in diskettes there. Many sellers know by sight, and are not averse to chatting about iron and life.

When does it make sense to go? The market is open every day (except Monday, like), but it really only makes sense when the peak of the people is a weekend, approximately from 12 to 14. At 14-15, many private sellers start to leave, and by 16 there are almost only stationary places to work . On holidays it works, sometimes even more people, it comes to all kinds of events / dances, although it depends on the holiday.
