Vintage German
Has anyone ever seen an old German tube radio like this one? It works and sounds good.

Looks vaguely like a Grundig I have...Late '60s, most likely. Those guys tend to be VERY good performers...

Holy smokes. German Democratic Republic... also known as the former East Germany. First one I've ever seen on this side of the Atlantic... usually it's Grundig or Blaupunkt or Nordmende. Nice catch IMHO.

That's right. Sonneberg is in what was formerly East Germany and was once the "toy capital" of the world. How it ended up in a thrift store in WA state must be quite a story.

I thought that radio had a very plain "Soviet" style to it. East Germany explains everything.

Hmm. Socialistic design, indeed. But I have a little noname-radio, built in Japan, looking like that.
Think, think, I think, Al Bundy has the same thing in his garage. Pretty ugly.
Almost every east-german Radio was RFT in those days, they had factories in Sonneberg (surprise), Leipzig and Stassfurt (radios were called "Stassfurter" in the gdr, ey turn off that **** stassfurter, man!) but all factories had roots in brands like Telefunken and Nora.

OT: Heya Sandy, everything ok? Still want to retube your rca´s?

Yours
Alex
