Tungsram

This Hungarian company was one of the first producers of light bulbs in the world and remained a large producer of valves and light bulbs until it was broken up in the early 90's and the bits sold off to various western companies, General Electric bought a large part of it in 1990 and so did Shréder a little bit later, both companies operate using the original name. Made radios both under the Tungsram name and using the Orion brand, continued making radios and hi-fi products at the least into the 70's, produced some of the best valves that were made in Europe and should not be confused with some other eastern European products.
