Juliette was one of many "American sounding" names used by Japanese
electronics manufacturers even into the 70s. It seems to me that the
name "Juliette" was mostly used in the late 60s and early 70s, and that
they mostly made clock radios. When I was a kid I had a Juliette clock
radio, one of the predigital ones that used numbers on wheels instead of
actual LCDs or nixies to achieve a "digital" look. It lit up orange at
night instead of red, and was pretty cool. I've seen several other clock
radios made by Juliette, as well as an AM radio or two. They were
cheapies that got thrown out as they got old, just like the rest of the
"lunchbox" type radios of that era-they didn't get kept like 50s
transistor radios did because they didn't have that aura of being first.

My 74 year old father and I are trying to replicate our shacks of the
past. One of the greatest little Public Service Band receivers I owned
was by a company called Julliette(?). (No, not Lafayette.) Very
sensitive little radio that was a simple two bander: AM and tunable
PSB. Came with a nice carrying case. Similar in size to a paperback
book. Also similar to Reaslistic dual banders of the time for Air and
PSB.
Does the name ring any bells with anyone? The spelling? The model
number?? Any info would be appreciated.
Hallicrafters also had two entries into the PSB market with tabletop
low PSB and high PSB receivers. I don't believe they even had AM or
FM. But they were also very good and I had the hi-band version of one
of those, should you have a model number for that particular recevier,
that would also be appreciated.
