  • Notes
  • Two dials (primary tuning control knobs)
    Two dials (primary tuning control knobs) - really existing or mentioned? EE: Despite naming 1924 as first year for Oriole 5 we change it to 1925 since the tube UX201A was according to Tyne, page 315 only available since August 1925 or later. If the model was first fitted with UV-tubes, then the date 1924 would be OK, since the UV201A was available since December 1922. In this case we would have to show the original tube line up and explain things - or create a second model and link them together - with the two different tube line ups.
