This is a beautiful and fully working Braun SK2/2 tube radio with a Bakelite case dating from the late 1950s. This model was in production from 1955 to 1960 and 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 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 is very slightly discoloured from age. That said, it’s still in a very presentable condition and looks fantastic for its age. The back grille is also slightly bowed, but it’s perfectly stable and the screws hold it tight. 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.
