When atlas changed to thorn up until they went EMI so around 1977-1983/4

I think this etch might have been launched in 1977.

the block capital ATLAS was only till the early 70's, 1973 ish? then the lower case atlas through the mid 70's till the frank shown on the tube above, is this correct?

Correct
thorncollector   [19 Mar, 2017 at 10:52 PM]
can anyone date the tube with the etch?
Kev   [19 Mar, 2017 at 10:58 PM]
It will be between 78-84
