In wooden case with metal handle and
lid, lined with burgundy leatherette. The front is made
of marbled ebonite.
Binding posts for antenna and earth are on the left; on
the right are the binding posts for the earphone (500
ohms). Top center is the crystal, below the crystal are
the tuning knobs with polished nickle plated contacts
for long wave (Grandes Ondes, left) and medium wave (Petites
Ondes).
Tuning ranges are 150-450 and 430-1800 meters.
The original price was Fr 99,-
(without crystal and earphone). The receiver was also
released by Radio-Plait as "Pocket
Radio".
Putting a date on a crystal receiver is
always a bit tricky. It is certain that the receiver was
sold from 1925
until 1931, but a later date is possible as well.
