Tues. show and tell pics

Hi, everyone just thought i would post some pics of my European radios. I usually had bad luck in repairing european radios during my teen and 20 something years, so i stayed away from them for almost 20 years, but about 6 years ago i found a beautiful Nordmende-Sterling Parsifal at our local radio club swap meet. The original owners heard about the swap meet through a article in the paper and wanted to sell theirs. it went up for auction as the club does at the end of the day. they plugged it in and nothing lit up period. I got the radio for $10 as everyone must have been scared that it had a blown transformer. well when i got it home i found that the original fuse failed, not blown open. 1 fuse, electrolytic, paper caps and a tube later, it was working with a wonderful sound.
This success gave me the confidence to try another european radio, this time a Grundig 2220 also found at our radio club swap meet a year later. The Grundig has a nice Bakelite case that looks like wood. it was kinda working on AM but no FM, It had a bad connection inside of the FM tuner module. The last one is a Philips B6x94a Plano cabinet radio that worked but wasn't very sensitive, it had a shorted bypass cap in a IF section. here are pics of my 3 Euro radios.
