We have a vintage 1958/59 tube tabletop radio. Designed and manufactured by NordMende. Made in Hemelingen, Germany. Model is Turandot 59. Catalog number Ch= 59/614. Case – Natural Wood (looks teak, but mostly advertised as walnut). Superheterodyne broadcast with both short and long waves. Plus FM or UHF. Shape – Atomic tabletop with push buttons and dials. Dimensions – 19.7 x 12 x 10.2 inches (W x H x D). Weight – approximately 8.5 kg’s or 18.75 pounds. Functioning – will work when appropriate tube is replaced, as per previous owner. Upon our assessment, the radio dial doesn’t move to the right very well, needs tightening, but does move. Radio will not power on. Cord has exposed copper wire in one spot (see photo). Top of wood case has black circles and some scratches. Original sham material cover with strings (clean). Chassis is complete, with minor dust on circuitry. Back cover is pristine for age, and fastened with original screws and caps. Solid unit, and a collectible model (hard-to-find). THANK YOU FOR BROWSING & SHOPPING WITH US AT HESPELER VINTAGE!
