  • Nothing has been done to this radio that is not described here.  THIS IS NOT A FULLY RESTORED RADIO but rather an original vintage item that has been inspected and repaired as necessary to make it functional.  As with all of my radios, I have played this radio for hours several days a week before I put it up for sale.  I do my best to describe every item in detail.  Please look over the photos and contact me with any questions. 

    Vintage radios were manufactured decades ago in a time of relaxed electrical safety. Many early radios were made with the metal chassis electrically connected to one side of the power cord. This can give you a strong shock if you happen to touch the radio and anything else that is at grounded at the same time. In addition, tubes can get very hot and cause serious burns if touched accidently after the radio has been running for a while. The danger is minimal if the complete cabinet, back, and knobs are in place and no metal parts are exposed. Vintage Radio Electronics, whether restored or un-restored, are by nature hazardous due to their voltage, design, heat output and age. They should not be operated unattended or for great lengths at a time. Any operation, repairs or other adjustments are done at your own risk. None of the radios sold at this shop have been modified to modern standards. 

  • The late 1950s to 1970s is often regarded as the golden era for Telefunken stereo radios, with models like the “Concerto,” “Allegro,” and the premium "Opus" series exemplifying their commitment to quality and innovation. Renowned for their exceptional sound quality, precise engineering, and elegant designs, Telefunken radios not only became a staple in Germany but also found a significant market in the United States, solidifying their reputation as a leader in consumer electronics during that period.
