SABA 400 Automatic Stereo 11
#13

I've restored four German radios over the last 5 years, 3 Grundigs and a Graetz. The Graetz was the worst. It felt like a twelve year old had put together a kit with his new spot welding set. All the peripheral units like the dial backplate, the FM chassis, antenna socket plate, etc, were welded to the chassis. Nothing came apart. I had to mask off the rest of the chassis to spray paint the dial backplate. The ERO paper caps are trash in all the German sets but they would be replaced anyway. But the Grundigs really produced the nicest sound.
