The radio was presented by Célard as a futuristic model (the radio was five years ahead of it time, the ads claimed), but the consumers did not appear to like it, and sales were disappointing. The radio was made in the colours ivory white, light green and maroon. It was also made as Manufrance model 30-222.
The original price was 29.800 FFr.
