Tube Radio Vintage

This offering is for a german tube receiver with turntable. Model 1957 – 58. 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 at that time. The phono-transistor-combination TP1 is shown at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. A further development was the receiver Atelier 1 with turntable and four wavebands. The playback capability of Vinyl and Shellac-records was an interesting feature. The amplifier has built a total of 3 tubes in powerfull amplifier, the power tubes EL95 work in push-pull operation. A total of 9 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 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 housing is in an age-appropriate condition. There are scratches and traces of use. 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 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.

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 much attention, it is possible that the radio sometime in the once gets an error. After all, it is over fifty years old. But even in this case a solution is possible.
