Out of curiousity was the term for the configuration
of
the common tube mantle-radio, "All-American 5", used in the UK and
Europe or is this an expression you've acquired from Yanks.
I've seen it used in the US press (albiet magazines about old radios) so
I suspect it's from here in the US. If memory serves it's from a 5 tube
set (as near as I can tell, very like a chipset today) made by one or more
of the major tube manufacturers that had all the components for a simple,
inexpensive superhet radio.
