I have an early E2 and I'm pretty sure it has an EC52 as an oscillator. The modulation transformer became O/C and the generator was replaced by a later E2 that I'm certain employs the ECC91. I still have my original E2 but it's skin wrapped in plastic..
Very good units and used with a frequency counter guarantee very accurate alignment of 405 TV receivers.
This is my alignment 'rack'. The old Advance is still 100% accurate to the scale showing 45mc/s on the frequency counter. Well made gear. J.
