ORION 115A is one of the most well-known models of “Néprádió” (People’s radio) that were made in Hungary in the'50s.
The main feature of this unit is its extreme simplicity.

It’s a superheterodyne with fixed tuning, it hasn’t the dial and  it can receive only three national broadcasting stations: 1) Local repeater station, 2) Kossuth,

 3) Petőfi.

The power switch / volume control are operated by the right knob, the left knob operates the rotating switch for the tuning and has three positions: 0 (Local station) - K (Kossuth) - P (Petőfi).
At that time the selling price of the radio was 380 HUF.
