English Italian
Orion Radio mod. Orionette 1004-I - Hungary - 1959 - Serial number: 004232.

Portable superheterodyne receiver for longwave and mediumwave built by Orion Radio in Budapest. The circuit used 7 germanium transistors and a diode: 2SA15, 2SA12, 2SA12, П14, П14, 2P6, 2P6 and OA1160, the antenna was a coil wound on a ferrite core and the IF resonated at 455 kHz. (In defiance of the Cold War, the 2SA15 transistor and the two 2SA12s were components manufactured by Hitachi Ltd. of Tokyo).

The cabinet was made of wood covered in imitation leather with a handle for transport and on the front it had a large horizontal dial scale. In the upper part of the cabinet there were the controls and the socket for an external antenna: starting from the left there was the volume knob with the power switch, the range change switch (MW, LW) was in the middle, then a socket to which it was possible to connect an external wire antenna and finally on the right was the tuning knob. The power supply required 2 x 4.5V 3R12B type flat batteries and the dimensions were:
9.4 x 7 x 3.1 inch (W,H,D).

Orion Radio mod. Orionette 1004-I  - Ungheria - 1959 - Numero seriale: 004232.

Ricevitore supereterodina portatile per Onde Lunghe e Onde Medie costruito dalla Orion Radio a Budapest. Il circuito utilizzava 7 transistor al germanio e un diodo: 2SA15, 2SA12, 2SA12, П14, П14, 2P6, 2P6 e OA1160, l'antenna era una bobina avvolta su nucleo in ferrite e la Media frequenza risuonava a 455 kHz. (In barba alla guerra fredda, il transistor 2SA15 e i due 2SA12 erano componenti prodotti dalla Hitachi Ltd. di Tokyo).

Il mobiletto era in legno ricoperto di finta pelle con maniglia per il trasporto e sul davanti aveva una larga scala parlante orizzontale. Nella parte superiore del mobile c'erano i controlli e la presa per un'antenna esterna: a partire da sinistra c'era la manopola del volume con l'interruttore di accensione, il deviatore per il cambio gamma (MW,LW) era nel mezzo , poi una boccola a cui era possibile collegare un'antenna filare esterna e infine a destra c'era la manopola per la sintonia. L'alimentazione richiedeva 2 batterie piatte da 4,5V  tipo 3R12B e le dimensioni erano: 24 x 17,8 x 7,9 cm (L,A,P).
