I bought one of these in a fleamarket in France.
Has anyone ever heard of the brand?
The tube lineup is 6E8 6K7 6Q7 6F6 and 5Y3 rectifier. The speaker's field winding doubles as a PSU choke.
I have searched a few French sites - valve radios are called "TSF" over there - Telegraph Sans Fil.
It is very nicely put together and the wiring insulation has not gone brittle so it should be a please to work on.
Absolutely nothing...
It would be nice to find a schematic and alignment procedure.
Given that it is late 1930s (some of the valves only were introduced
in 1935) is it safe to assume an IF of 455kHz?
The "big" French brands are SNR and Ducretet-Thompson. They, in turn, made "House-Brand" radios for a good number of re-sellers.
Look inside and see if you see any of their fairly distinctive trademarks.

Probably not. Remember: The French copy no one and no one copies the French.
Do you have access to Facebook?
I have some pics there.

I find the price of admission to Facebook is far to high.

Wowsers!
That, if ever there is one, is a candidate for heroic cleaning methods. I > have put such devices through the Dishwasher as kill-or-cure. H
