I looked it up in the dictionary!
I have a few German sets.
The selector switches are crumbling from using the wrong contact cleaner.
A Gavotte is an old German Dance, Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart, Haydn, etc. all wrote Gavottes for various different instrument combinations including Solo Piano, Chamber Ensemble, Wind Ensemble, etc.

I believe that Telefunken named all of their radios, stereos, hi-fi sets etc. after musical terms.

I figured out what was going on with my radio, its a combination of dirty switch contacts, and weak tubes, the tube that was the most responsible for the poor reception/performance was the ECH81 which I unfortunately don't have a spare of.
