I have just bought, but have not taken delivery of as yet, of an Oceanic Multi band receiver it is a transistor radio and not working. Do not know what model. Was not going to buy any more radios but what can you do!
Does anyone know where they came from? I may require a circuit diagram down the track.

'Oceanic' was a house brand use by Mick Simmons Sports Stores for its radios back in the 1920s and 1930s.

Does your transistor set simply say Oceanic, or is it perhaps Trans-oceanic? Any other brand of model hints inside?

As usual, good photos can help in identification.

It just says Oceanic. Bought it on eBay will know more when I receive it. It is probably Japanese.

Oceanic was I believe a French subsidiary of ITT

Integrated in 1966 within the global group ITT, Océanic multiplies the technical innovations as well as the advertisements.

In 1992, Océanic is present in the upscale, namely televisions with NICAM digital stereo audio. Océanic announces since 1993 the introduction of televisions in the 16 / 9th format (including one of 91 cm) while being one of the first manufacturers to launch its R & D teams on the future HD (High Definition). Intensive communication continues thanks to brilliant advertisers (including Gérard Jugnot) in the 90s, with landmark TV campaigns. Océanic even sponsors the Paris Open tennis tournament.
