Unfortunately, the sound qualities in this videos are inadequate and maybe the videos will not be shown in all countries. In model year 1960/61 Nordmende brought the Fidelio Stereo E300 with Chassis 1/632 in the market. With a price of 375.00 DM it was an expensive radio. In Germany in 1960, the average monthly income was DM 500.00. The surface of the radio has grown and natural patina, with some signs of use. The housing does recognize its age. It is almost sixty years old. The Fidelio is ideal for the living rrom. Through the careful technical and optical restoration, it gives an authentic impression of radio technology that time.

Clean chassis, and in amazing performer. I restored the chassis as well as the housing very carefully. The nine tube chassis has been cleaned and lubed carefully before restoring. Tar and electrolytic capacitors and a lot of other parts have been replaced. All have been carefully restored. Only if the radio meets my quality standards, and these are very high, then I offer it. Although great attention it is possible that the radio fails. Attached are the service manuals and schematics. The FM provides the amazing thrilling sound these radio are known for. Nevertheless, for serious listening, an external antenna will provide amazing radioreception. Please note this is a Europaen model. FM works up to 100MHz (almost up to 102MHz). A few words about me. I’m radio and television master of the “old school”. The training in Germany will be made dual. This is of great advantage. It means the trainee is formed parallel in the company and at school. The company provides practical knowledge and the school teaches the theoretical fundamentals. After three and a half years there is a final exam in theory and practice. By the master exam is possible to open his own business and young people to train. My training in the craft began in 1967 as the tube technology was at its peak. Over time I have repaired several thousand devices expertly. All offered radios are in my collection for decades. Now I reduce my collection and offering some special pieces here. I will gladly answer your questions about tube radios. I´m using a check-list with approx. 80 points for all work which has to be done in an old tube-radio to make it running for the next fifty years. So I measured all voltages, tested tubes, checked electrical and mechanical components, adjusted the filters, lubricated the mechanics, checked and fastened screws. The dial glass is beautiful, cleaned and polished. And did very much more necessary work. Original speakers all in place and sound great. The sound can be controlled by potentiometres and a button Musik/Sprache(Music/Speech). The furniture was cleaned and polished, but I get his old patina. Please note some pictures reflect furnishings. 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. No apologies for this performance. This beauty radio with it’s lovely furniture, dial glass and speaker grille must not be damaged.
