    See also model Super Modulateur of the year 1927 with built-in meter.

    Sold in Italia in 1929 for 3800 Lire.

    In "La Radio" 1984, the model is described as type "Bonhomme", which is the proprietor's name. They also give a date of 1927, which might be erroneous (see link above). The current evidence points to 1928 as year of introduction for this specific model.

    The Italian sales agency leaflet states 7 valves, whereas a known receiver has 5. Reason for this difference is currently unknown.

    External loop antenna is required; it's part of the first resonant circuit.

    Externe Rahmenantenne ist erforderlich, da sie Teil des Eingangsschwingkreises ist.
