This is the rare West German export model distributed by Olympic Radio & Television in New York, meaning it natively operates on standard US 110V/60Hz power grids without requiring a step-down transformer. Cosmetically, the wooden cabinet and front grille cloth are in exceptional condition for their age. Internally, the chassis is incredibly clean, dust-free, and complete with its original 3-speaker configuration and full vacuum tube complement. The complex dial tuning string is completely intact and moves smoothly across the dial when the tuning knob is turned. The original power cord has been cut at the wall plug end. It has not been plugged in or powered on to protect the vintage transformers. Model: Goldy 250, Type 27015. Year: Circa 1959 / 1960. Tube Layout: ECC85, ECH81, EF89, EABC80, EL84, EM84 (Tuning Eye). Power Requirements: 110V AC, 60 Cycles, 50W. This is a heavy, fragile instrument containing delicate glass tubes and a glass dial scale. It will be professionally packed, double-boxed, and surrounded by ample cushioning to guarantee safe arrival.

Pilot Lights Up And Radio Works. I added an external jack to play vintage radio programs from iPhone with Jack about 8 years ago. Also replaced several of the tubes. I don’t use it much but try to warm it up every now and then. It did have some small chips and minor scratches which were touched up but cosmetically looks nice for age. Please examine photos as evidence of condition. Chrome foot piece on right is loose and needs glued. You can still get parts if it ever needs repairs. Tubes are still available. Also, modern electronics plugged into the same outlets can cause some humming. Either use an isolated outlet or get a interference filter.
