Oulu on 433kHz does seem out on a limb, even amongst the others- one is left wondering if there was a "Finland IF" among set-makers, with unusually extended LW.provision. When did it (presumably) close down?

I think the closest approach I've seen in a "conventional" set is 420kHz in the CR100, the Marconi/HMV domestic scaling reached 720/725m, or around 415kHz.

A bit more on LW generally here, it seeming that Oulu ceased 433kHz transmission in 1977.
