French BC-312 from 1955.
An old radio collector in Italy sent me these photos of a BC-312 rebuilt in France: http://novatech-instr.com/images/Fr_BC312_1.JPG http://novatech-instr.com/images/Fr_BC312_2.JPG http://novatech-instr.com/images/Fr_BC312_3.JPG He asked if I knew anything more about this. I thought I toss it up to the Usenet crowd. Note that there aren't the 3 holes under the nameplate, so this is probably a whole new front panel. For a radio designed in 1936, that's pretty long life.

French BC-312 from 1955.
Can't add much, but I remember seeing a BC-603 receiver with a similar
nameplate, though I can't recall if any of the other markings were in French. -- Mike Schultz "Steven Swift" wrote in message ...

French BC-312 from 1955.
Steve/Mike,
I have a BC-669-C and power supply that is marked in French both inside and out, it came to me from a seller in France and was used by their army in the artillery support role. Not sure if the French replaced the original markings themselves or if the makers in the US lettered them up for overseas orders. My set was made by ERL but has a Hallicrafters control box. 73 de BF "Mike Schultz" wrote in message news:JMsoj.23932$8i.22527@trndny09...
