This is a beautiful and fully working Braun SK25 tube radio with a Bakelite case dating from the early 1960s. This model was in production from 1961 to 1964. It was an evolution of the late 1950s SK2 radio, which was designed by Artur Braun and Fritz Eichler in the same year that the renowned Dieter Rams was hired by the firm. With its simplicity and aesthetic beauty, this really is a design classic and can be found in various museums around the world. To me, it still looks genuinely modern, despite the design being around 60 years old. It’s in original condition and hasn’t been repainted or played around with at all. This means there are various imperfections to the paint on the Bakelite casing and the front grille has some discolouration. That said, it’s still in a very presentable condition and looks fantastic for its age. I’ve tried to show the radio from all angles in the pictures, but can happily provide more photos. You can use the internal aerial and get a decent enough signal. If you plug in the external aerial (which is included), it becomes much louder and improves the signal, so you can turn the volume quite low and get a very good reception. As it works great and I have no technical knowledge at all, I thought it best to just leave the cover in place. If you want some pictures of the tubes etc inside, let me know. It has its original German plug, so I’ll included a European to UK plug adaptor. If you prefer, you can obviously just cut the plug off and put a UK one on. Please message me with any questions.
