Tuneable frame antenna with amplifier |
| |
 |
| Made of
white and brown plastic. The two coils of the antenna
itself are made of gold coloured anodised aluminium. The
antenna can be used for short wave, medium wave and long
wave. The knob on the hand is used to tune the
antenna and to switch from one wavelenght to another. |
|
The 6,3 volts filament voltage and the
250 volts high tension for the EF80 high frequency
amplifier is tapped from the radio using a valve base
adaptor, connected to the Chrono Capte. The adaptor is
placed in the valve base of the output valve of the
radio; the tube itself is inserted into the top of the
adaptor. The antenna can then be connected to the
antenna and earth sockets of the radio. |
|
The Chrono Capte has a swivel base, so it
can be directed to a radio station for optimal tuning. |

Célard
made several
versions of
this antenna.
There were
antennas with
and without
a clock, with
and without a
wavelength
window, and with
a wavelength
switch on the
upper side.
In addition, they
made
antennas with
integrated power supply and
antennas that
were suitable for DC
radios
and AC/DC radios. |
| The antenna mainly
receives the magnetic component of the antenna signal,
thus eliminating most interference. |
| This type of antenna was mainly popular in
Belgium and France. This antenna is French and was made
by Radio-Célard,
32, Cours de la Libération, Grenoble, during 1952-1958. |
| The original price was 6360 Fr. |
