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. As you can see from the photos, it’s in great condition. There are no prominent scuffs or scratches to the Bakelite casing. The back cover has a couple of light cracks and repairs, but it holds tight, and is in much better condition than many of the back covers now found on these radios. I’ve tried to show the radio from all angles in the picutres, 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’s fitted with a UK plug. Please message me with any questions.
