Tunable frame antenna with
amplifier in the
shape of a globe |
|
Made from plastic.
The two spirals of the antenna itself
are made of gold-coloured anodized aluminum.
The antenna is suitable for reception
on short wave, long wave and medium wave.
The knob in the base is used for
tuning the antenna.
There is a wavelength slider above it. A
small lightbulb (6.5 volts, 100 mA) illuminates the
plastic in the base near the tuning knob. |
|
The filament voltage of
6.3 volts and the high voltage of 250 volts for the EF80
high-frequency amplifier are tapped from the radio via a
tube base adapter connected to the Captemonde.
This adapter is inserted into the tube
base of the power tube of a radio, after which the tube
itself is placed in the adapter.
The two remaining Captemonde
leads are connected to the antenna and ground bus of the
radio. |
|
The antenna is
rotatable, so that it can be optimally aimed at a
transmitter. |
|
Because the antenna
mainly receives the magnetic component of the antenna
signal, a large part of the interference is stopped. |
|
This type of antenna was
especially popular in Belgium and France.
This antenna is
French and was made by Radio-Célard, 32, Cours de la
Libération, Grenoble, in the period 1955-1958. |
|
Célard
also made this antenna
with a built-in power supply. |
| The original price was 7890 Fr. |
