  • Notes
  • The "Super type B.8" (as written on the radio front - or in short Super B8) was made and constructed by the short lived "Etablissements Radio-Goumaz", Galerie St-François, Lausanne. See company history and the newly formed company Radio Leyvraz, Genton & Cie; Lausanne.

    This superhet uses a very low IF of 45 kHz - as often used in France (but 50 kHz). The 4 IF stages are in a metalbox with 4 knobs for adjustment. This box, a "Schaleco Superformer II" from Germany, can be found in some superhets of that time, made by small companies or is found in some homebrew superhets. Some parts are from France, some others from Germany. The grid battery of 4.5 volt is internal.
