One of the best soundig tube radios I ever hear is this Saba Freiburg-Studio from 1963. This radio has motortuning for the stations and volume control, probebly one of the most expensive radios of his time. This is a real heavy weight of 17 kg! Tubes are: EC92, EC92, ECH81, EF89, EM84, EBF89, EF86, EF86, ECC83, EABC80, ECL80, ELL80, ELL80.
Op deze radio kon ik geen merknaam terug vinden, het is een erg bijzondere radio en dus gaf ik hem zelf de naam van een bijzondere lieve blog vriendin, Ambrosia.
Het is een radio verstopt in een poreclaine beeldje waar een cristal ontvangertje kon op aangesloten worden, zo kon men verborgen naar berichten luisteren uit bv. Engeland. Groetjes, Retro0_7
This is one of the bigest tube radios made by Philips in 1955. The radio has motor tuning and was a real luxuary item ath this time. The radio was on sale in 1955 for 900 Gulden (name of the money curency in the Netherlands ath this time, now in euro it will be around 1500 !!!). This is a very heavy boy 30 Kg! Sizes are: L 71cm, H 44cm, D 31cm. This radio has 16 tubes! EBF80, ECH81, EF80, EC92, EF89, EBF80, EF85, EAA91, ECC83, EBC41, PL81, PL81, EL84, EZ80, EZ80, EM34.
This radio is equiped with the famous "reverbeo" system. With this function you have the feeling you listen to a perforance in a concert hall. These radios are very praised by collectors of vintage tube radios. The tubes are; ECH81, EL84, EL84, EM80, ECC85, EL81, EF89, EBF89, ECC83, EAA91.
The strange or rare thing on this radio is that he is made to be used in places like restaurants, hotels and other comercial places. It works with coins! Put 5 Belgian franks (not longer in production) for one hour of radio fun! (see hole above of the radio) The original coin box is still inside... This is a funny gadget, ist'n? Greetings, David.
This is the biggest table top radio ever made (for so far I know).
Its the masterpiece of any collection of German radios.
Its a Siemens Schatulle P48 made between 1954 and 55.
This radio is a SoundBlaster, 4 big alnico speakers are doing the big job!
There is a ECC83 for each EL84 tube!
No less than 14 tubes!!!
This radio was the most expensive radio of his time, you have to pay 795 DM (German Marks = 1500 euro or 1890 USD).
This is the top of all radios, I hear a lot of radios during all this time of collecting but this is just amazing, you can feel the volume go thru your cloths
Its just a wonderful radio, Im so glad I finely have one in my collection.
This radio is also very heavy he weights about 30 Kg!
The sizes are 80 cm wide, 44 cm high and 33 cm depth so he is much bigger than the M57!
Very uncommun radio this "Sonneclair" model Evolution. He was made in France around 1949. The case is made of metal and the speakercase is made of black bakelite. The speaker can be positioned in flat position or standup position like in picture. This radio realy looks like a type writer... Other funny thing is that the radio can be wall mounted! This is realy a piece of design! Tubes are: EAF 41, EAF41, EM4, EL41, ECH41, GZ40
I bougt this radio from Hein Houben, thank you Hein!
Zeer mooi klein radiootje van Philips gebouwd in 1951. Ik vind deze radio mooi omdat hij je aandacht trekt met zij sobere vormgeving, als je deze radio ook maar één keer gezien hebt zul je zijn vormgeving niet vergeten... Dit toestel werd in de laten jaren 80 gebruikt op de affiches en sticker van radio2. Afmetingen: 28cm x 18 cm x 14,5 cm. Het maakt gebruik van de volgende lampen; UCH42 UF41 UBC41 UL41 UY41
Dit is een Philips type 2514 uit de begin periode van Philips. Zoals de meeste radio's uit deze periode is het design nogal streng en labo-achtig. Dit toestel zit erg ingenieus in elkaar waardoor een herstelling een ernstig klusje wordt. Slechts 4 lampen in dit toestel; B443 E416 506 E442
