Name: Unitra DIORA - Radiowerk Dzierzoniow,    (PL)  
Abbreviation: unitradior
Summary:

Radiowerk Dzierzoniow, ul. Swidnicka 38 (former Reichenbach, Silesia), Poland. Only later this establishment received the name DIORA. See remark.

History:
After WW2 improved "Philettas" (former Philips model produced there until 1945) were manufactured. The refinement embraced larger speakers and enlarged bakelite cases as well as reduced mains hum and later even wooden cabinets.

These Philetta successors were named "PIONIER"(mainly with U..21 loctal tubes for AC/DC) and "MAZUR"(E type tubes for AC).

Licensing agreements from AGA (Sweden) made use of AGA components possible (e.g.IF filters) for these models, and complete production of other (AGA) models as well.

Pionier and Mazur are considered the most popular radios of polish production and they used to be in high repute for their performance, being superior to their predecessors.

Remark:
There might have been even another name, but after WW2 in Poland all the factories had been more or less anonymous, only identified by a code number.
