What's new on this website ?

Last update of this website : August 29, 2011 - version 5.8.3


Look at the bottom of this page to see the latest evolutions...

Please bear with me : My english is not good even if I improved it (a little bit) this last years! There is a lot of syntax and tenses errors in the pages. I just try to keep this website as «worldwide» as possible... My native laguage is french, but I try to keep the english version, even if some pages (insulation tester, Philippines,...) have never been translated.

I stopped the radio hobby during the 2005 and 2006 years, after my marriage. Not because my wife was angry (she's ok with that) but because another things to do ! But recently, I found a very big lot of parts, radios and appliances. That's why now I have a new project: creating a small private museum!

Our house is too small to put all my collection inside, and I stock almost everything in a warehouse. This place is not bad in itself but I wish to show the collection in a different way...

That's why, I'm now searching again appliances: radios, TV sets, Hi-Fi and video recorders! Take a look at the search page...

Coming soon :

More pictures of the most beautiful radios from my collection and general update of this pages !

More information about M.B.L.E. (kits Polykit) + factory pictures.

Folders from AEL.

Pictures of Rexola / Socora workshops, in the 30's years.

Pages about Novak, Itax, Scarabee. More information about Carad (Carpentier) and Radiobell.

All of the documents are ready, but it takes time to create the pages. I work with a basic html composer !

Creation and history of this website:

To build a web site, no need expensive software tools. All of this pages have been created with free softwares. I use Fedora Linux as operating system, Quanta to create html pages, and The Gimp for the images or photographs. These softwares are downloadables or present on every Linux distribution. It's a cheap solution, and it work very well!
