- Notes
-
This radio set was manufactured in France under Minerva license. The FM tuner and the IF filters are made in Germany or Austria. The set uses 3 loudspeakers: an Audax 24 x 32cm for the bass, a 15cm VEGA for the medium and an electrostatic tweeter.
Even with a single EL84, this gives a pretty good sound. The sensitivity is excellent, a loop antenna with an EF89; preamplifier is used on MW and LW, giving an outstanding sensitivity and noise rejection. The record player is of French origine "Voix du monde".
