Waltham S.A. in Geneva (Switzerland) (28.01.2007) Marc Gianella 294/0
When putting on the 1961 model Waltham "8 transistor 3-Band radio WS-83L" I had doubts whether the manufacturer Waltham Radio Corp. Ltd. is correct. With this manufacturer 2 US-models out of the thirties are listed. The existing original documentation is of a certain company Waltham S.A., 9 Rue de la Corraterie in Geneva (Switzerland). Waltham devices seen so far (portables and cassette tape recorders from around the seventies-eighties) were, without exception, manufactured in the Far East. I assume in this case, too. The assembly took place with japanese components. Can someone help to assign the equipment to a manufacturer? I’d like to thank rm-member Mr. Pigeon for the pictures and comments he kindly submitted. Manual Standard SR-H105L/K produced from Waltham IRL Manual Standard SR-H505L K produced from Waltham IRL Manual Standard SR-Q110FL produced from Standard J So I could compare with my Standard schematics and items. Surprisingly, I found that Waltham S.A. Geneva (CH) published exactly the same documentation for Waltham WS-83L as Standard Radio Corp. Tokyo (J) did for Standard SR-H105L, both in 1961. Waltham Ireland produced and/or distributed the model Standard SR-H505L for Standard Radio Corp. Tokyo (J), produced the model SR 4000 clockradio (e..y auction 270195263627) Beltrans Trading in Brussels distributed Standard and Waltham (WS-73L) models in Belgium 1962 Waltham Electronic Supertone in Paris distributed Standard models in France Wyder Communications AG distributed Standard models in Switzerland 1983 Searching in the web shows that the manufacturer „Standard Radio Corp.” Tokyo (J) had a lot of models that came with different brands, such as Jefferson-Travis, Mignon, Sampson, Waltham and maybe even more.

Waltham S.A. in Genf (CH)? (27.10.2005) Marc Gianella 537/1
Beim Anlegen des Modells Waltham „8 Transistor 3-Band Radio WS-83L“ von 1961 hatte ich Zweifel, ob der im RM erfasste Hersteller Waltham Radio Corp. Ltd. korrekt ist. Mit dem Hersteller sind 2 Amerikaner aus den 30’ern geladen. Die vorhandene original Dokumentation ist von einer Firma Waltham S.A., 9 Rue de la Corraterie in Genf (CH). Die mir bisher in die Hände gefallenen Waltham Geräte (Portables und Cassettenrecorder aus 70’-80’ Jahre) waren ausnahmslos in Fernost gefertigt. Das vermute ich auch hier, die Bestückung erfolgte mit japanischen Typen. Kann jemand helfen, das Gerät einem Hersteller zuzuordnen? Vielen Dank. Freundliche Grüsse, Marc Gianella
