I think the late 50s is about right. I couldn't find it on the European site Radiomuseum.org, but the Metz 205 looks similar. I'm a member there, so I can get to all the content - some, like schematic diagrams, are limited to members. Is there a tube list on the back? That would help narrow it down. Tubes can be found without much trouble - except "eye' tubes - most other parts are generic. Most Euro radios go for $30-40, though the top-of-the-line models (large, usually stereo) can bring quite a bit more.

Thank you very much Tom.
I appreciate very much your answer. This Metz belonged to my father and was given to me by my mother six months ago, before she passed away. So there is a sentimental value several million times the $40 it's priced in the market. This may be the chance to start in a very exciting hobbie. As I told you, I want to keep it, but I was surprised to find so little information about Metz radios in the Web, compared to other brands. Regarding your question, yes, there is a tube list in the back. The codes (from left to right) are: EM34, ECH81, EF85, EAF42 and EL41. Additionally, it is written 7V 0,3A I would like to ask your help once more: This radio was used in a country with 220V AC. Now I am in a 110V country. The radio has a selector in the back (red circle, Picture 1) for setting the voltage. There are two "brackets", apparently for fuses (picture 2). There is a thin wire welded in bracket "A" (not visible in the picture), while "B" is empty. My questions are: 1-I think there should be a fuse in "A". What rating? 2-Why are there two brackets? If a change the voltage to 110V, should I use the fuse in "B"? Thanks Languedoc Last edited by Languedoc; 08-29-2006 at 10:26 PM. |
