Since I'm posting a few of my radios I thought I'd mention a German set I have.
I've owned a Telefunken Opus 7 radio in a blond cabinet for quite a few years now. It was recapped about a decade ago and has wonderful FM sound. I listen to it often. A person who loves German radios was talking with me at a local radio show about 5 years back and told me to look for one of the Saba table top radios. He mentioned how nice they were and that they have terrific sound. The problem I soon realized is I never see Saba radios locally. After a couple years I was thinking of possibly buying one and having it shipped.
Very shortly after I found this Saba locally on craigslist at a very low price of $100. The lady knew very little about it, just that it had belonged to her parents and she remembered it since she was a small child. Anyway, it's a very large Saba 410US radio with automatic tuning. This is really a large radio! I brought it up on a variac and it worked but when on automatic it only stopped at a few strong stations. It does have great sound! It's been sitting on a shelf with other unrestored radios for about 3 years now but I look forward to some day having it play again!
Here's a front and rear pic.
