The "Yolka" worked from an alternating current network with different voltages (even from an on-board 12-volt car network).

Easy to use, it provided quite good negatives. Thanks to the hinged design, the device was easy to fold and took up little space when not in use, completely fitting inside the base, which served as a subject table during reproduction. The kit included two lamps for shadowless illumination of the document.
