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.

Greetings from Gloucester!
I don't think either of these units are exactly as you remember the one you
are looking for but you might want to try

Good Luck,

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.

WOW! My dad sold Juliette and Lloyd's, and Windsor, along with the
horrible Alaron (not listed), and another awful one that started with an
A. I had many of the radios listed at one time or another. I used to get
to fix the dead ones sometimes, and usually took a couple of the dead
ones and made one good one and kept it.

Lloyds seemed to be the best, the CB stuff with their name on it was
really pretty decent. I had several walkie talkies that were identical
to ones sold at Allied and Lafayette. I had one that had a three
channels, a solid aluminum case, and had selectable 100mw or 300mw Tx
power. I had that thing for about 10 years, it died of old age, all the
switches were totally worn out.

Thanks for posting this.

I had a portable Juliette reel to reel tape recorder. It had a nice
wooden case with an all metal chassis. I think I paid about $50 for it
in the late 60's. I still have many recordings of the Apollo moon
missions made with that recorder.

Arvin!! I knew it started with an A!!! I had an Arvin cassette recorder,
a total POS!!

I got a whole 2 grocery bags of Regency TR-5C's some with the exact same
case, some with an odd shiny plastic one. They almost all worked, after
a little playing with them. Bad solder joints on the volume control were
the most common The earphone jacks on all those old radios were junk.. I
sold them all for 2 bucks each at school.

The Crown TR-690 was another one my dad sold. I had one good one that I
stupidly left the battery in and it was ruined about 10 years ago.

I had a few of the Regency Xr2a, with the attached earphone. A nice
"listen to the radio during school" radio. I also had an amazingly tiny
for the time "pen" radio that was taken from me when I started laughing
at something they said on some show while I was sitting in Language Arts
class. I don't know what happened to it. It was blue and red and had a
little knob where the ball point button was at the top. Volume was a 3
click slide switch. Really weak, not quite as weak, and just weak. A AAA
battery ran it for about two weeks. I got it at some radio shop in NY. I
haven't ever seen anything remotely like it, ever.

I had about 50-60 of some Regency model not in her list. They were
mostly black and gold, and red and silver. Seemed to be basically well
made, but whoever was soldering the 9V battery clip leads to the clip
itself should have been canned. Most of them fired up instantly with a
new clip. Sold them at my school and a nearby girls HS for 2.00.

Thanks Frank!! LOL, I see a whole bunch I had, fixed, or...ummm..tested
pyro technics on.

DAN,

I came across this website 2-3 years ago and they had more radios
back then. I had forgoten about them, until now when some one
else posted a link here on the RRS NewsGroup recently. Wish I
had bought one or two of the old ones that have now all been
"SOLD" Out. Most likely a Liquidator of old business stock.
