Flea market find: Goplana Tube Radio
I found this cool Polish radio at a flea market today - paid $20 for it. It is really clean and very feature packed! It has:
5 Tubes: ECC85, CCH81, EBF89, ECL82, and EM61 eye tube
An adjustable voltage dial with 240V, 220V and 120V settings
Inputs for Tape and Phono
AM, FM, SW1 and SW2
Output for an external speaker
An Eye tube for tuning (one of my favorite things!)
The pictures really don't do it justice, it is really quite striking in person. the inside is very clean as well, with no obvious leaking caps or burnt resistors. All the information inside is in Polish, which I don't speak. There is a date on the inside, written as 3.09.6L, anyone speak Polish? I'm thinking early 60's here.
I haven't tried to fire it up on the Variac yet, but was wondering if anyone here has any info on this model. I searched the web and found a few pictures, but not many details. Any info is appreciated!
