The list of my radio & TV collection!

Saba Freudenstadt 8

Budget Saba of the peak era of German tube radio. 1958
Seven radio lamps, standard set of bands for German radio, LW, MW, SW 16-50 meters, FM 88-100 MHz.
Except for the stylish design, nothing special ...
But there is one but ...
This is Saba, the undisputed leader of Europe in the 1950s, with a clear audiophile nod. The most melodious pair of EABC-80 and EL-84 radio lamps in a single-stroke seemingly low-power amplifier, but paired with two highly sensitive 20-centimeter famous Greene Cone speakers work wonders - I certainly did not expect such a drive.

Unfortunately, the microphone of the video camera does not transmit emotions. ))

Sorry for the lack of two keys for the range switch ... The receiver has not yet been completely restored, just struck the sound of such a low-budget design, so the emotions broke free. )
In the second part, the search for stations in the FM band, demonstration of sound quality ...
