Tube Radio Vintage

This offering is for a german tube receiver. Model 1961 – 65. Designed by Hans Gugelot and Dieter Rams. One of the first projects after the takeover of the Max Braun Company in 1951 by his sons Erwin and Arthur Braun, was the development of a new model range, which should appeal especially to the younger generation. For the first time a design department was established under the leadership of historian Dr. Fritz Eichler, as a creative “esthete” and Arthur Braun as a technician. The result was, inter alia, the legendary Braun SK1, a radio equipped with simple rectangular shape with all the essential functions, and without the usual ornaments that time. The phono-transistor-combination TP1 is shown at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. A further development was the receiver Atelier 2 with turntable and four wavebands. The playback capability of stereophonic records and tapes was a new technical feature. Optionally can be played on output 1 a broadcast-station and source 2 plays an audio source. The amplifier has built a total of 6 tubes in stereo amplifier, the power tubes ELL80 work in push-pull operation. A total of 11 high-quality tubes were installed in the radio, for that time a rarity. Up to the present time radios made by Braun are all examples of perfect design. While this radio is attractive and certainly is an eye-catcher, it’s real strength is the chassis. Clean chassis, and in amazing performer. I restored the chassis as well as the housing very carefully. The eleven tube chassis has been cleaned and lubed carefully before restoring. Then tar and electrolytic capacitors have been replaced. Technically, the radio of a complete restoration was subjected. Known to be prone to failure capacitors and components have been replaced, as well as power rectifiers and capacitors. The case is in orignal condition, minor scratches are on the housing. The wooden side panels have slight scratches. I would specifically point out that the turntable is defective. The turntable revolves, but the pick-up system is defective. After all work was done, an extensive field tests in the automated test system have not presented any defects. 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 I did very much more necessary work. For the technically interested readers some details. Tubes 11: ECC85, ECH81, EF89, EBF89, EM84, ECC83, ECC83, EC92, EC92, ELL80, ELL80. Power: AC 110 – 220Volt. Dimensions: 22.1 x 7.7 x 11 inch, (562 x 195 x 280 mm). Net weight: 28 lb 10.1.7oz (13kg). 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. 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. After all, it is over fifty years old. But even in this case a solution is possible. 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. This is a Europaen model, FM works up to 100MHz(nearly up to 102MHz). Please note: This tube-radio has no built-in speakers. Each speaker with 5 to 8 ohm impedance and a power of 10 watts can be connected. This beauty radio with it’s lovely white furniture, dial glass must not be damaged. I will package this receiver personally to make sure it is done correctly. My packing is overkill, see the pictures and my feedback. This is a used radio from my collection and it is offered by private.
