The Orion 140A originates from 1956
(Hungary).
The receiver is housed in a wooden cabinet and covers two bands
(MW and SW).
Tubes employed: UCH21, UBL21, UF21, UY1N.
I got the Orion 140A as a gift from the owners of our holiday
house in Badacsonytomaj, a village on the board of the Balaton
lake in Hungary.
A visual inspection did not reveal damage to electronic
components. Only the dial lamp appeared to be defective (no big
deal .....).
After supplying 220 Volt (in steps), local and also more distant
stations could be heard on both bands. Nevertheless the radio
needs restoration (new coating on the case, cleaning of interior
and realigning).
