  • Notes

  • United Wireless started production of the Type E Tuner in 1911. In 1912 when Marconi took over United Wireless company, the Type E Tuner was sold as a Marconi set with just a new label.

    The Type E was the first United Wireless set that had a loose coupler on top of the hard rubber panel. The loose coupler is of very high quality workmanship. The same detector was used both in the Type D and E Tuners; it could be detached by loosening the two knurled nuts that hold it in place.
