Austrian Combo from 1956

[Josef]

Thank you for your answer Phil!

The reasons for the very good audiosection are easy: These sets were no mass products. Only very wealthy people who had big homes were able to afford such a combo. The price of this set was more than 6 times of a months average income in 1956.
The early table sets were often used in hostelries to watch soccer or other sport events. Good and loud audio performance was also very important in this case.
One interesting point is that these sets are not really rare here in Austria. A reason for this could be that they were used as radios and record players after the TV died or as a commode to put a new color TV on it's top. Mostly these sets are still here but in terrible condition.

I also want to point out that I visite your homepage often. The documentations of your restorations are very impressive and always a pleasure to read and watch.

Greetings
