WIFI connectivity also opens up the possibility of synchronous wireless streaming to multiple devices (multi-room). If you buy a second device (radio, WIFI record player or WIFI speaker), one could play the left track and the other the right, or one could play your music in the living room and the other in the kitchen.

Case condition
L’extérieur est totalement d’origine et la radio fonctionnait parfaitement lorsque nous l’avons récupérée. La caisse présente quelques signes mineurs de son âge :
- some fine scratches on the case
- une petite zone plus matte et une écaille du vernis sur le dessus, vers l’arrière, de la taille d’une pièce de 5 centimes
As you can see on the pictures, this old unit is in excellent condition!
History of the radio
The Surcouf is the most sought after vintage French radio, specially with a green bakelite front like this one.
Océanic was founded in Paris in 1937 by Roger Toutain, he was able to produce only one model of radio before the outbreak of the war and did not resume the activity until 1949. In the early 1950s, Paris was the world capital of Art Deco design, and this was reflected in all elements of interior design. In 1953, Oceanic had the idea of developing Art Deco models on the theme of the sea, and the success was instantaneous, and the production continued until 1966. Then the brand started to produce televisions and the first 'flat' screens. These "sea" radios are now very sought after by collectors.
Oceanic named all its radios after 1953 with marine names and the Surcouf was no exception, named after the famous French pirate Robert Surcouf, who died in 1827.
