Some highlights from “JAZZ” and JAZZ HOT,” French-language jazz musician/enthusiast magazines circa 1960. I can picture Michel thumbing thru these while waiting for Patricia to come back from her classes at Uni.
The RV guitar amplifier, as distributed by Conn. Beautiful little amp; it has a sort of a Carr vibe to it.
Anyone have any information on these lil fellas? Schematics?
Benny Goodman with an RCA 77 (and some sort of horn-type instrument?)
Billy Holiday about to make you weep via an EV 636. I have had a few of these and they can sound pretty cool. Good cheap vintage mic.
Studio scene circa ’60
When tracking overdubs I generally get by with a Royer (into some tube preamp/DBX comp) and a u87 (into an API/Purple comp) out on the floor. If it don’t sound good on one, it’ll sound good on the other (or both). Same thing but with a 77 and a U47? Yes please.
Seems like Stimmer was a guitar (and other) pickup maker. But what is that guitar?
Transistorized portable turntable

You’d think the French would have had some kind of electronics industry, but from what I can see, they didn’t. Apparently everyone bought German or Dutch (Phillips) stuff after the war.
My basic antipathy toward the French language hasn’t helped by enabling me to find old electronics on French eBay though. Any brand names, besides Nordmende or Grammont?
