The original schematic of this Telefunken model Famulus II is from February 12, 1963 and this original semiconductor set up is shown. Telefunken made a Famulus 3971 in Germany from 1958 to 1961, but with the following semiconductors: OC613 OC612 OC612 OC602 OC604 OC604spez OC604spez OA174 OA174. We can imagine that the moulds and machinery was then shipped to Brazil to produce much cheaper for Brazil and probably also for Export from Brazil, by changing the electric part only because at that time it was easy to include short waves instead of long waves. Compare also the very first transistor radio from Telefunken in Germany, the Partner TR1.
In Germany there were followors with the same name Famulus, like Famulus-Luxus, Famulus 3371, Famulus 7381, Famulus 7481T, famulus 101 and famulus 105, which all are quite different.
