Superheterodyne receiver
Material: creme painted wooden frame and glass panels with yellow, black and mirorised decorations on the front, the top and the sides. It has a double tuning scale, one for short wave/long wave and one for medium wave. Both scales are illuminated by a pilot lamp.
The radio was made by Art Luxe et Technique, a company that specialised in making coloured mirror decorations ("miroiterie"). On the Paris Fair of 1947, the designs of A.L.T. won a silver medal. They were advertised with the slogan: "Le chic de Paris".
Inside, at the top and on the side walls, asbestos plates are attached to protect the glass from the heat of the valves.
The radio receives 3 wave bands. Short wave: 16-51 meters, medium mave: 190-565 meters and long wave: 995-2000 meters.
Dark brown models were also made.
