1959 Normende Rigoletto vintage radio in amazing condition. A miracle of German Audio Engineering, this Normende Rigoletto is truly one of the best radios ever made! Its hard to imagine how any audio equippment from that era can sound so good clear and crisp. I hate to let this go but I have no time to truly appreciate it. This radio is a time capsule. It has an amazing walnut coloured cabinet in prsitine condition with very minor hard to see surface swells from cleaning cloths. The inside looks all original and works as it did on its first year of operation. The sound is strong and clear going through the speakers on the front and side. It got a really nice sounding push buttom preset equiliser and a really functional green eye tube to show station tuning. Its very rare that you find these in this condition.
