The video and the pictures shows the good condition. The design with its clear lines was already trendsetting in the late fifties. Braun his time was far ahead. The design was already trendsetting in the late fifties. Radios from other manufacturers were still in furniture in the so-called “Gelsenkirchen Baroque”. For these reasons, Braun-Radios were mainly bought by the avantgarde, for example, by doctors, lawyers, architects or higher officials. Some models of the house Braun located in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The housing is made of wood. This combination has some special features.

The radio has the typical design of Hans Gugelot, he designed 1955 the Music cabinet Phonosuper SK4, consisting of a wooden cabinet made of maple and is fitted with a tube radio chassis, a record player and broadband speaker. The last model of the series, this offered Phonosuper SK55, a combination with the radio chassis RC 32 and the turntable P2. It just fits into any living room. This radio is pleasent and certainly is an eye-catcher. The housing is made of metal, the side parts are made of wood and the cover. Made of acrylic glass. The cabinet and the cover have signs of wear and minor scratches. I cleaned the chassis as well as the housing very carefully, but traces of age and use can be seen. Because of their age many electronic components are subject to deterioration and wear. For theses reasons I have these parts replaced with high-quality, new components. Please note, this analog radio-phono combination is more than fifty years old. A comparison with digital combinations of today are not possible. All have been carefully restored and works very well. After all, it is nearly sixty years old. However, I would point out that the combination, perhaps sometime in the future, may have an error. But even in this case a solution is possible. Attached are the service manuals and schematics, so a good technician can perform possible repairs. Still, if you have any questions about this wonderful device, please contact me. The radio does not have built-in antennas. An FM antenna is included. Please note this is a Europaen model, FM works up to 104MHz (almost up to 105MHz). I´m using a check-list with many points for all work which has to be done in an old tube-radio. The furniture was cleaned and polished, but I get his old patina. The finish is original, certainly has the crazing in the finish that is so common to these radios, but it is still shiny and attractive. The original bottom panel is also in place. Please look to the pictures carefully. Traces of use the radio shows make it a beautiful antique. This beauty radio with it’s lovely furniture, dial glass and furniture must not be damaged. I will package this radio personally to make sure it is done correctly. This is a used radio from my collection and it is offered by private. Usual signs of use are not listed separately and are no cause for complaint. The combination has a very high weight. That’s why I send the radio in two packages. In the first package are the radio, the record player and the speakers. The second package is the base and the glass plate. Assembling is very simple. Your questions will be answered professionally.
